I'm not sure if this is an error in my software, or my Fanuc Controller...
When I am going in for a tool change, the code issues the T command with specified tool number. I am having to manually stop the program, and turn off the spindle to change the tool. If I wasn't watching the program closely, the program would simply continue on its happy way with the wrong tool. Very dangerous.
I am used to having the program stop the machine, and turn off the spindle for a tool change, and then having to press "cycle-start" in order for it to continue.
Is this something that has to be programmed into the controller, or is it something I can issue up in my code?
