    Hi machinehop5
    I'm back to this issue again which I never resolved, ATC. I've got other parts of the machine working and actually made a part, I'm using this as a single tool at the moment.
    Ill try these M codes you posted, i guess it can be done in MDI? I've basically done other repairs around the machine, there were quite a few things that needed to be done and now back to the ATC.
    Ill see how I go.

    So whats happened so far.

    M26 tool unclamp OK
    M25 tool clamp OK
    M24 Mag down OK
    M23 Mag up OK
    M21 Mag right Error 1036 T number unmatched and 1042 SPDL Unorient
    M22 Mag left didn't work as the ATC is in the left position.
    I guess if i can find what the code number for spindle orientation is, I'm not sure if its in my book. Tool number unmatch has got me beat.

    Just tried M19 and spindle is not turning/orientating but I can hear the relays switching. I remember when I had a technician looking at this he did mention this issue.
    Also the technician made some changes in the ladder regarding the ATC and since then the code M6 T# doesn't rotate the ATC. Rotation of the ATC was the only part that worked when punching in this code before the ladder change.
    I have some ladder diagrams another guy kindly posted on this forum.
