Matrix Churchill Three Series Live Tooling

[russellpalmer47]

HI all

my first post here and may be a longshot but does anyone have any experience with the Matrix Churchill three series CNC lathe Running Fanuc OT?

reason being im going though the machine checking everything is working (as its out first big CNC lathe), ive got everything to work but not the live tooling.

i can enable and disable the C axis, but can't get the live tooling to work

the manual states M13 for forward, but ive tried many different combinations but just can't get it to activate, the machine just hangs on the line of code like something is missing

hope someone can help

Dear Mr Russel Palmer

Can you give us G & M codes To run C Axis for Matrix Churchill 3series Fanuc OT with live tool.

For live tools what is the command we should use so that the every time the tool changes the live tools got properly engaged with drive..
