    Exclamation VF3 Pallet Changer Problems

    After pallet 1 finishes the program , when it goes to change to pallet 2.... It wants to put pallet 1 where pallet 2 is.
    I can go to MDI and execute a pallet change and it works fine. Only when I let the program execute the pallet change does it try to put pallet 1 in the pallet 2 spot....
    Please help!!!

    Thanks!

    I have a VF-3 SS APC and have had no problems like you are having. What might be happening is when you machine pallet 1 it thinks its machining pallet 2. When you are in current commands while running the program does it say "Pallet 1" below the code area of the screen. The way I program the APC is setting up a master program that is simply the pallet changes and subprogram calls. If "Pallet 1" isnt showing up below the code then I would start the program with a Pallet change to pallet 1 so the machine knows that pallet 1 is currently in the machine.
