    Opposite tool indexing with Fanuc 21MB

    Hello,

    We just bought a Kira VTC30E (1996 year) vertical machining center with Fanuc 21 control and today I have been playing with it first time. I found a problem with the tool indexing. Below is the list of the positions in the ATC:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

    But machine is indexing the positions as

    1 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

    So when I call to T3 the machine loads T9, when I call T7 then T5 is loaded instead etc.

    Any idea of where the problem could be and how to solve it?

    Thanks in advance!

    I answer myself.
    Today there is no problem. I suppose the problem disappeared after returning the machine to the home position...
