We've just acquired an Integrex 100-IIIst machine with a lower turret that we are programming in eia. We haven't figured out how to do a restart yet. Normally we would call up the eia program as the current work no., curser down to where we'd like to start in the program and hit the "Restart2 nonmodal" button. Then start running.

Our experience so far has been that the machine gets confused and both turrets start running at the same time.

Anyone using eia programs that has a procedure for successfully restarting?

Thanks

What control is on that Integrex, I had heard that there is a bug in the Matrix controls for EIA restarting on Integrex Mark IV machines......

This has the MTPro control.

have you tried using the restart on the main softkey menu???

make sure you restart at a tool index for a safe start.

when you hit restart, hit enter again to write the same program you are using for the Sub-Program (first line)
then enter the N number for sequence number
Block number will = 1 to start on that N# line (2 will be the line after N#, 3 will be the second and so on)
enter 1 for the repeat # times

and away you go! give it a try
