    rw14 - Spindle will not index on toolchange

    I have a rw14 vertical mill, when trying to make a tool change the spindle doesnt know where it is, it will just keep spinning until it error's out

    it will not index so it can put the tool back into the tool carousel clocked correctly

    is there a sensor that went bad, maybe something I can reconfigure, either way this is really putting me in a jam so any help or suggestions would be nice

    thanks, Eric

    Some use a proximity sensor, others may just use the spindle control to index the thing. Have you called Milltronics?
