    Default vx400 tool changer recovery

    We just picked up 2 used vx400's. Trying to get first machine going. Tried a tool change and it stopped with the tool change arm rotated to the spindle and errored there. How do I recover this? I can't enter anything in MDI. The Z is not homed out. Manual tells me to hit start cycle and magazine select button to get into recovery mode, but doesn't seem to work?

    Any tips? Can this be rotated back to position manually?

    Default Re: vx400 tool changer recovery

    I have the procedure to get through this and I was doing it wrong before apparently and just now got it to move the arm. So now it is swung into position to take a tool out of the spindle. I hit Z- and I can hear a click, the solenoid? clicking like its telling it to eject the tool. But nothing happens, just that click. No sound of air, nothing.

    thoughts?
