Lathe Turret Parameters

Post by DLAM »

All, I am looking for parameters that control the tool changer in lathe configuration. I had the turret motor for positioning the tool turret in my lathe go out (anyone know what motor is used in an old EMCOTURN 220 for the tool turret). The closest one I could find will have to come from Europe so I am shifting to a quick change tool post so the machine can get back to work for a little bit. I found Parameter 6 for auto tool changer installed. I set that to 0, but there is more to do than just that one. I tried manually changing the tool in MIDI and it changes but it waits for memory #52 then it times out.
I am running CNC12 lathe V4.5
I attaching a current report/


Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You

In addition to changing P6 to 0, try deleting or renaming cnctch.mac.

Then it should fall back on default manual tool-change behavior, which is to simply wait for you to change tools and press Cycle Start.
