New member here having tool change problems. I am using a kiwa-510 colt with fanuc om controller. when i am telling machine in MDI to make a tool change the feed hold light comes on and makes no action with no alarm message coming on.
in mdi i am using
g28 z0.
m6 t1
any advice for this rookie would be much appreciated
Kiwa machines are a little off the wall when it comes to tool changes if I recall correctly. They use a separate subprogram call for each tool number. Look in your program library for those. If they are there, you might have to call tool changes with M98 Pxxxx.
