Hi every body

We bought a second hand horizantal machining center. It doesnt accepts. T tool number command. It accepts TF command. Is there a paramter to change to T command system

Thanks for help

Pallet changer?
is it OSP driven?
Error message?
What is wrong if you use TF instead of T command?

What is the CNC controller model?

Stupid question, but still. Did you set the tool 3? Check the tool table if there are tools set into magazine pockets. Generally the pocket number is not the tool number, you know that?

Do you have any library files on the machine ?

If yes, check if a G/M code has been assigned for a better toolchange.
ie. Checks if toolchange is required, & not in the spindle, or a different tool is in the pre-toolchange position.

oh yes, you need to check the number of ATC sequence. The tool change command is accepted at dedicated steps only.

It could be done in manual mode. Generally, It's very good to do step by step reading the manual. The idea is:
1. Open door
2. Push the button to open tool clamp
3. Manually place the tool into spindle nose
4. Push the button to clamp the tool
5. Key-in the tool description. Tool number is absolutely necessary, all the rest according the situation
6. Check if the next tool is "0"
7. Push the button manual tool change.
Tool goes to magasine ( you don't care to which pocket )
This procedure is good for setting tools when you do measure offsets at the same time.
I can't tell if the description of procedure is correct here, Door open close sequence can be different. The push button for tool description in the manual mode and so.
Maybe a little easier is to set the tool into magazine and tell in the parameters the tool number in that exactly pocket. After that is possible to call the tool into spindle.
Should be described in detail here in this forum in the posts at about 2002. Maybe someone will attach the original procedure description taken from operators manual.
