Re: Program eratic after a tool change Lathe
I had to simulate the tool changer. I did have the a-axis turned on and working but I didn't have a physical tool changer durig the test. On Monday I'll have the tech support guys run it on our in-house lathe to see if we can shed some light on your issue

Re: Please help with ATC issue after spindle and VFD upgrade
Number one thing is to upgrade to the latest version of software. The version you're running is very old. The new version has lots of pre-programmed features that you're after. Please follow the CNC12 installation instructions and guidance to the t and things will go smoothly

Re: Program eratic after a tool change Lathe
i loaded your report and intercon test file on a test bed machine (without a spindle encoder) and i changed the intercon program to F/M and it seems to run fine, (not like the video short posted)
