Hey-

I've got an old MCV 500, early 80's, w/ a Meldas 5000 controller that has SMW RT-200 rotary indexer set up for it that hasn't been used since the last guy owned it at least 10 years ago. I've searched all over for the manuals for the thing, but have come empty.

I need to set it up for a current job, and need to know how to make the mill work it. The indexer has it's own control box and is not set up as a 4th axis.

The old owner remembers using a M71 code in the program, but couldn't remember where to place it, or how it's used. Anyone out there have an answer?

Thanks
