    Mori Seiki MT2500 MSX-501 Controller tool change help

    Good Morning,

    I am by no means a new Machinists, but am completely new to Mori controls and also to the mill turn side of things. The company I work for Purchased a Mill/turn for a great deal and everything is working good on the machine. Tech did a tool change without a tool in spindle and said everything looked good (I am almost positive he might of just did using the manual ATC function). I have started playing with and getting myself familiar with the control, but for the life of me can not get this machine to do a tool change.

    I have not done anything with the tool offsets page or registration as there is no data in there and I am just assuming I do not necessarily need any data just to swap to a different tool. I am using G361 cycle like the book says to do and have what i believe is correct based off of the manuals I have read. Below is what I have been trying and keep ending up with the EX0021 alarm tool unclamped as soon as I press cycle start even if I got the machine in single block. I have tried to locate this alarm but it is a PLC alarm and it does not show it in the book that is included on the control with the alarms listed.

    Any help or guidance is much appreciated- Alex

    It's little tricky, Depends how machine was left off, but its doable.
    If machine have 40 tool mag, it easy.
    Go to Settings
    type 10 [Imput]
    Select ATC Manual
    Should be like that
    1 ATC door close - on
    2 ATC door open - off
    3 TOOL HEAD CL - off
    4 TOOL HEAD UNL. - on
    5 MAIN ARM HOME POS - on
    6 TOOL CLAMP - on
    7 ROT. AXIS ORT. - off
    8
    9
    10 POT ATC LOCK - on
    11 off
    12 off
    13 POT ATC POS. - on
    14 POT LOCK - on
    15 POT UNLOCK- off
