    Fanuc 0i-MC How to force waiting tool pot move to tool change position

    Hi every one,
    I'm new and I have a question on the ATC.
    My Chevalier machine using 0i-MC control. While I'm running with T1, T2 was called for next tool waiting. When the T2 code executed, the magazine moves the T2 tool pot in to waiting position but the pot will not rotate 90 degree to tool change position until M6 command executed. So when the T1 finished cutting, I have to wait a few seconds for the pot rotating down and tool changing process take place. On other machines, the pot will automatically rotate to tool change position right after T2 code executed. Is the any way to force the pot to do like that or is there any M code manually control the tool pot, please let me know. Thank you!

    You need to find the correct keeper relay does this. It's a simple fix but be sure you have enough room during cutting. I have seen cases where a tool is too long when using a 4th and 5th axis.

    hi ,

    don't know that you solved the problem or not but , on my deawoo it's M32 down and M33 up.
    on my quaser it is M22 and M23 .
    those are machine biulders M-codes. maybe you can find it in de tool change program (in my machine O9001) or else in the machine manual under M-codes.

    greetings bertus
