Got a new TL-2 with turret a few weeks ago. Setup machine definition and used post mplmaster as suggested, when i tried to program a part with threading the post output U0. W0. If I use boxed threading cycle I can thread.I understand that u w are used for x & z. contacted my software provider and they said they are checking with corp. 2nd problem is I'm trying to use the tailstock so I must specify tool home for tool change so turret and tailstock don't meet. Location given for home when useing user selected is U0. W0. again with no values. I have tried all options sugested or thought of. If I substitute X#.# Z#.# I can get the turret to home on my selected location. Any seggestions would be appreciated.

i am not to sure about your threading cycle. post the code for us to look at.

try this for sending your machine to home or to a safe turret indexing position.
G0G28U0. or (G0G30U0.)
G28W0.

this might work for since you didn't have the reference return code with U0. W0.
