    Fadal swing arm changer

    I have a Fadal 4020 Multiprocessor CNC (NOT Fanuc control) built in 2007 with the side mount swing arm changer. We also have a few Haas, and the nice thing about the Haas side mount swing arm changers is that if I want my face mill out of the changer, but I forgot what tool it was set as, and I can see it in pocket 5 all I have to do is type P5M6 cycle start and the face mill is brought to the spindle. I've tried this same process on the Fadal and no worky. Anything like this on the above mentioned Fadal? I really don't kiine playing tool changer bingo, and I know if we try to keep a list at the machine someone will forget to update the list.

    If you type in DD you can see the bucket number and tool number table. The asterisk shows the current bucket at the ready. SETTO will clear everything and re-synch tool and bucket.
