    VM1 toolchange feedrate

    Our VM1 has recently started moving the table extremely slowly before and after a toolchange, like when it sends it to the back corner before the toolchange. Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed to increase that feed rate? I mean, it's literally 30 seconds to move to the back corner, then another 30 seconds to move it back up.

    And it doesn't seem to be very consistent, almost dependent on whether there's a program running or not.

    Have a look in the machine parameters on the manual page. I'm sure there's a parameter for "rapid override in toolchange". If it's set to 1, change it to 0.
    Failing that, it can be accessed in the integrator pages.
    Auxiliary/utilities/46268/integrator parameters/N95 parameters
    Jump to parameter number 216 and change it to 0 then exit and save.

    I don't see a parameter in the manual page about rapid override in tool change, but it's entirely possible we're not looking in the right screen.
