    Sychronizing ATC Tool changer

    Hey guys been fighting our tool changer for a while and we are pretty confident that the mechanical end is working fine with some adjustments made. However we need some input on how to synchronize our tool magazine with the actual position on the screen. For instance when the tool magazine is lined up @ tool slot five, the actual position on the screen is tool 11. The machine is a 4020 Cadet with a 5020 controller. Thanks in advance!

    find magazine pot offset parameters. There would be some 845622 or something like reading next to each tool pot. Place the cursor on present offset and input magazine pot number using "set" command. if mechanical adjustments are correct, all offsets of all pots must be recalculated then.
    Easier on U100M, U10M. You need to find the parameter of 5020 and sure, you need to set 1 of highest bit to see machine parameters also.
