My cam program just outputs T1 M6; for the tool change command.
Does this need to be prefixed with a G91 G28 Z0 ?
Does the M6 command point towards a tool change macro that I am possibly missing?
The problem is that the spindle does NOT move back up into it's home position and the machine just pauses when issued the T1 M6.
If I home it up to Z0 then it goes forward with the tool change.
I can manually make tool changes with this machine. it has the 20-tool side mount changer.
Thanks for any info !
