TOOL CHANGE NOT WORKING

[rajesh_1355]

Dear Friends

(MACHINE: MORI SEIKI-VMC-FANUC OMD)
In my machine alarm 901 appeared few days back, found its memory card defective same got repaired & reloaded the data. Everything is running ok except tool cycle.
I Redownloaded MACRO PROG. 9020 prog but I dont know how it got corrupted. Here it is...
&HE:%
:9020(CAMBIO UTENSILE)
WHILE[#11GT0]DO1
G90YY[#25+#18*SIN[#1]]
#3=#4003
G28G91Z0M5
T#4120
M6
G#3
M99

I am sure above prog need some little correction. Pl suggest me how to correct it.
Any help will be a great help .
Thanks

Why dont u try by just Txx M6 code.

Why dont u try by just Txx M6 code.

M6 on his machine probably calls macro O9020, which appears to be incomplete.

Where did you download this macro from? It appears to be missing some blocks and has errors (see comments <---)

If it is a mori with a 0m, you don't need a macro for atc. Someone has probably installed a macro assigned to m6. That was a common thing for people to do way back, if you called the tool that was in the spindle for a tool change, the machine would alarm out. There was a keep relay to do the same thing.

Dear I downloaded it from machine when in good condition. I don't know how it got corrupted. Pl suggest some remedy to run the cycle. Its Mori Seiki Fanuc OMC machine.

Do u have detail of Micros.
Pl send.

Thanks

Can you post your program here? Especially the tool change section.

[rajesh_1355]

Dear Sir,
I tried many combination suggested in this forum for tool change prog 9020 but could not success-ed. Actually this machine is MORI SEIKI - MV 40 S WITH FANUC OMC. I tried to understand the ladder but it is too complicated. In the ladder for tool calling D 3265 bit is used which normally does not shown in ladder unless u make bit 64. 3 / 4 high. As soon as Txx command executed. Machine shows alarm EX 201 Tool data error ( like ).

Any suggestion will be very helpful.

Regards.

We are going to use program 9020 since this is what you have. First thing you are going to have to do is make sure that parameter 230 is set to 6 as this will call program 9020 when you program an M6.

Now since your program was corrupted I am only going to use what I think you will need and how I would write it.

:9020(CAMBIO UTENSILE)
#3=#4003
G28G91Z0M5
T#4120
M6
G#3
M99

This is just a basic tool change. You are setting your modal G90/G91 to #3 then sending the machine to Z0, calling your modal T() then the M6 to change the tool, finally setting your G90/G91 back to its original state.

I always like to skip the tool call if you are calling the tool that is already in the spindle. You would need to see if the MTB set up a system variable that tracks the tool in the spindle or you have to set a common variable up to do this. Let me know if you want this and we can add it.

Or just set parameter 230 to 0 and use the factory embedded macro...
All mori's use an M6 that is embeded. Someone added that macro, not the factory. As long as z is at home, M6 will do a tool change when M6 is commanded. The ONLY time i've seen factory macros in the 9000 series, was for APC( pallet change) spec, and a couple for probing.

[stevo1]

That is another solution. Someone wrote the macro for that machine for a reason I would think. I had many machines that had the embedded macros but would not work unless Z0 was positioned before the tool change which was a PITA for some guys to remember. I also had machines that would alarm out if you were calling the current tool in the spindle. The custom macros came in handy to avoid any of these issues.

I agree. Mori did use a keep relay just for the tool in spindle. It would just ignore and move on. The Z0 was no easy solution other than a macro.
