Hello
We’ve got an old Spinner VC500 but we don’t use it because the turret is broken. Is it possible to disable automatic change in machine parameters so that we would change tools manually?

Only a crystal ball can answer if you don’t say what controller the machine has. I suppose it’s impossible.
But tool numbers at some controllers have 2 parts. The first one is for the position number, the second one – for correction value.

There’s nothing to be said against the possibility of Multifix assembling and calling of tools with T0101, T0102 etc. The only disadvantage is that the whole procedure is very cumbersome.

The controller is Sinumerik 840D!
We have already got in touch with the manufacturer. They say it’s not possible. Unfortunately an error occurs when we try to change the tools manually in the program.
