M119 Spindle Orientation?

[rylanrouge]

We have some pallet tools, and need the spindle to orientate to 90 degrees as opposed to M19 spindle at 0 degrees. I tried giving the machine an
M119A90. but that acts just like a M19... anyone have any experience being able to orientate the spindle to any position needed? Thanks.

For our FA400's we got this macro from toyoda. Note the red section, and #7 needs to be set with the value for 4077 from each machine it is used on.

There are risks for using this, but we have not had any issues. We use the standard M19 with this so it ALWAYS sets 4077 each use instead of only when M119 is used. This makes sure it is correct when doing tool changes.

Does Toyoda have a version of this macro that will work with the newer 31 or 32 control?

This one worked fine on our 18, but throws an illegal address alarm on our 31i.

I don't know, but there really is only a few parameters it could have a problem with.
- It uses #1-#33 for internal variables, these should not be an issue.
- #620 is used to remember the current orientation number is not standard IE. tool change orientation. Do you have the option for macro variables 600-699? This can be changed to any 500+ unused variable... Oh, that was one I added coupled with a change in our M6 macro to only reset orientation if not already set for a tool change. I should have included this with the macro. See the code below.
- System variables: 4038 and 4077 make sure these are the same on the 31 and 32 controls!

M6 macro code at the beginning of the macro to assure correct M19 rotation for the tool change after using the macro.

Most fanuc controls use M19 for spindle oreintation by parameter 4077 ---M119 and then maybe the next three are set postions from it
They are usually set as D postion values in you data screen ---------Go into system screen and move to the screen where the counter/data/keep relays are ---the Data values is where the 2nd/3rd and 4th position is placed
First make sure the m code is valid and if it is you need to find the d value to adjust it
