    Tool Change Program

    I have a Kent USA Model TW-32-MV with Fanuc 0MD control. This machine arrived with out manuals. The tool change program O9001 has been deleted.
    Anyone have a copy ??? Or a copy of the Operating masnual for this machine.
    Kent USA ??? No luck.
    Thanks

    In Fanuc control, M6 is the tool change command.

    For example, after the T01 finished machining, it is programmed to a tool change position by
    G28 G91 X0 Y0 Z0;
    and then if you want call T2, the programmed as follow:

    T02;
    M6;
    For your case, you have to check what's the next tool should be called. hope this could help to you.

    Re: Tool Change Program

    Do you know for sure that it had a O9001 program for tool change? Some machines run the tool change completely out of the PMC. In that case you won't see a 9000 series program. Doesn't need it.

    What happens when you type in M6 like the person above said?

    Look at parameter 0240. Does it have a number 6 there? That parameter states what M code number will call macro or program 9001. If nothing is there then you likely do not need a 9001 program for tool change.

    Here is a tool change program off my YCI Supermax Fanuc OMC. Not sure it will work.
