    Hello,

    I have Bridgeport 720 Interact with Heidenhain controller 2500B. The machine was without energy 1 year long.
    Now I have the following problem: the machine works, but tool changing doesn’t. When I try to change a tool, it’s made only at the controller. Are there any parameters gone or am I doing anything wrong? I’m not fit technically.

    Regards
    JR1976

    Hi!

    Did you program M06 after TOOL-CALL?

    Regards

    Hello

    Yes, I did.
    The controller shows that a tool is being changed, but the machine doesn’t change it.
    I have the similar problem in program flow.

    Thanks

    Regards

    Hello again!

    It’s strange. I believe the macro for tool changing is saved in the PLC. And if something there were wrong, it wouldn’t work in general.

    Try the following program:

    0 BEGIN PGM 1234 MM
    1 TOOL CALL 1 Z S1000
    2 L R F M06
    3 L X+20 R0 F500 M3
    4 TOOL CALL 2 Z S1500
    6 L R F M06
    7 L X+0 R0 F500 M3
    8 L R F M30
    9 END PGM 1234 MM

    if you don’t use central tool storage, then use only TOOL-DEF clauses.

    Regards

    Corrado

    Hello,

    I have some more questions:
    1) how can I change tools manually?
    I don’t understand it.

    2) I want to save machine parameter, programs.
    I have a cable for connection of machine to PC.
    What software do I need therefore?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards
    JR1976
