M Code for Tailstock?

[mbpp]

Hi, on my Mazak T32 control it's :
M31 - Tailstock up and M32 - Tailstock back.
i know it's probably no use but might be worth a try just in case !

ahhhhhhhhhhhh...... here we go then... my Okuma uses M55/M56 and if i remember correctly the HAASle used to use M21/M22.

hopefully you are not activating other things!!! also how do yoou position the T/s body ? ( by hand and bolt in place or does the m/c pick up and place or is it independant??)

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! The winner is... M31-32. Thanks for everybodys help in resolving this mystery. You just made my job running these so much better. I love this website. Oh, by the way ST, I bolt in place, why do you ask?

Glad to hear mistery solved......yeah the web site here is A OK.... tons of help.....

well if your m/c picks up and places the T/s that would need M code, and usually these codes are close to the ones that activate the quill.
excellent news on the M31 working!!

I think you've got to adjust your parameters.... This was on another site helping somebody with a similar problem...

"try M21 advance M22 retract but you will have to adjust a setting in your parameters. I forget which one it's in the 90's or 100's. hope this helps"
If that don't do it... http://www.fanuc-spares.co.uk/fanuc_parameters.htm
this website might be worth looking at for kicks..

Really?? On my Hitachi Seiki HT-20SII, you can't move the tailstock when the spindle is turning... and you can't start the spindle unless the tail stock if fully retracted or touching a part...
