Need Help!- Hardinge Quest 6/42 sub spindle synchronization

[bschris]

I am attempting to transfer 3/4" hex part in main collet to a same size hex collet in sub spindle.I cannot get the flats of the hex to match up! I am not
at work as I post this so I can't quite remember the spindle synch. codes I was
using.My production manager got a Gosiger app. engineers sample program E mailed to him yesterday but it didn't work.I really could use some help from someone else who programs the 6/42. Thanks to all who reply.

M32 Syncs the spindles. M7 Syncs the orientation.

Also could be that the main and sub are not algined.

My production manager called Gosiger and they called Hardinge who said it was parameter 4024 S2. I used a test program that Gosiger e mailed and then adjusted the parameter until the alignment was correct. ( I am writing this at home and do not have internet access at work so the parameter number may be wrong.) I am still looking for someone who programs a Hardinge Quest 6/42 so we can share information. Thanks everybody !

Chris, I sent you a PM yesterday. First time I had been on this site in awhile. I've never programmed a Quest 6/42, but have been programming Hardinges for 25 years starting with CHNCs. We no longer have any CHNC lathes, but do have a Conquest 51, a Conquest 42 and several Conquest T42s. Two have hydraulic subspindles, 3 have programmable subspindes, 2 have C-axis (that seldom get used), and one has live tooling using B-axis which only gets used for cross drilling although I have milled keyways with it.

We also have 3 Daewoo 200MS lathes plus a Nakamura Tome TW-20 with C-axis that do see a bit more C-axis work. Unfortunately we don't get any fancy work for C-axis, but I should be able to help you with basic stuff.
