MV 45 tool change "Help Please"

[PMW1]

With a 6M control I believe you need to go to the parameter table. I think it is parameter 4000. The sequence will have pot # and tool # 4001 is pot 1 the value is the tool # associated to that pot. I think the spindle tool is 4000. 4001 pot 1 4002 pot 2.... not positive on the exact # may not be 4000 but pretty sure. also there may be more than one parameter page. IE PC parameter and machine parameter. try calling Fanuc 888-fanucus. good luck

As I understand the problem is that if you choose to take tool 5 the machine goes and takes the tool from pot 10 (as an example). This is due to the random tool selection of your machine, this means that in order to do the tool change faster, the machine will leave the tool in the spindle in the pot where the next tool is, so, if you have tool 5 in the spindel and want ot load tool 10 the machine will take tool 10 and leave tool 5 in the pot where tool 10 was; this is random. The machine will remember wher is tool 5, and every time you call tool 5 it will go to the por where that tool is.

If you arrange all the numbers of the tools to have tool 1 in pot 1, tool 2 in pot 2, etc. evantually the machine will missarrange that due to the random system.

I hope this helps.

You may check in Diagnostic screen.Mori seiki use Fanuc 6M built in PMC.
All PC data is stored in Diagnostic Screen.

You then have to tool change in MDI(ie swap then all around until the pot number corresponds with the tool number. Finally when the last tool is in the spindle simply put in an M33 code and it will automatically send it to the right pot number). If you don't understand this i can go through it in greater detail with you when i have more time! Good luck!

I have 4 MV-45's and my tools do not correspond to the exact pocket as it is all input on the screen that you referred to for tool data. I know one issue which will throw it off is it must have an empty pocket (EP) and it must be commanded to where this empty pocket exists. During a cycle the tool changer will deposit tools in random pockets as it swaps them out but the logic is able to keep track of there position. I suppose to simplify the procedure you could in fact manually pull all of the tools from the magazine and place them in the corresponding pocket then use your tool data input screen to manually key them all in in their respective locations. The tool changers on these can be temperamental at times but once you get all the kinks worked out and all the assignments correct they are usually trouble free until someone screws them up. Hope that helps.
