Hi,
I recently inherited a takisawa cnx540 lathe with a fanuc 5t controller, although having looked through the old notepad generated programmes i can understand most of the codes, i am struggeling with 2 m codes M57 &M58, if I was to hazard a guess i would say they theywere either coolant on or off or spindle rotation but I really am not sure, if anybody has any ideas, I would be pleased to hear them.
Thanks
Tim

Would that be Chuck open/closed? Or has M68/69 already been assigned to that?
What happens if you issue them in MDI?

Fianally found that the M codes are to alter the spindle gearbox ranges, thanks for the poiter Al didn,t see it at first on the machine, because there is a toggle switch that changes the display between tools and spindle speeds, when I first tried inputting codes in MDI I had the switch set to tooling.
Cheers Tim
