We took delivery of a Mori SL603 lathe last week. We finally got it all hooked up and the application engineers from our dealer were performing some training for our operators yesterday.
One of the operators tried a M19 command to orient and lock down the spindle so he could put some jaws on the chuck. The spindle just rotates without an alarm and doesn't execute the command.
The apps guy then told him that M19 was an option? :bs:
IMHO M19 is one of the most basic M codes that every new lathe should have.
I put in a call to the main apps engineer at our local dealer and he said he's looking into the issue. I expect a call back today, but wondered if anyone else out there has been thru this on a newer Mori lathe?
