    Troubel looping a program in a 5 axis lathe program (sub spindle won't line up)

    I'm trying to run a program in our lathe.
    The parts is rectangular, and we have a sub spindle cut with the shape of the part.
    When we run the individual part program, everything comes out just as we want.
    The trouble is when we loop the program, using the original as a sub program.
    The first part comes out fine, but on the second part, the sub spindle does not line up correctly and smashes the corners of the part.

    We are running this on a Hwacheon Hi-Tech 250 A, Multi-Axis Control TK.
    The control is Fanuc 18i – TB.

    I'm using the sub spindle as a bar puller and support for the cut-off.
    Where the problem only shows up when we are looping, I'm guessing there is something I'm not canceling at the end of the program, but I'm stummped as to what I need to do.

    Below is the code from the bar pull to the end of the program.
    Can anyone tell me what I need to add (or remove)??

    We loop it as a sub program using an M98 command.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Dunno what codes for your machine, but you need to sync the spindles before and after the machining.

    on this machine the M120 before the pull, syncs the spindles and the M121 after the cutoff cancles the sync.

    What I was trying to say is you need to re-sync the spindles after the bar pull, before the turn mill takes place.
