Initial ATC tool change issue

[Smityp116]

Guys,

I'm having an issue with my M6 macro after the initial reboot of the software. After the first attempt it works very well. Basically it moves to the correct location, lowers the spindle but then fails to trigger the Yxxx ports as configured to do so in the M6 macro to action the sliding rack, dust shoe up and the spindle chuck open etc.

It only happens after the software restart and the tool indicator is at tool 0. Once it has a tool in place it works as planned. I've attached my macro that has been edited

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Paul

Edit. I think I was wrong, I'll look at it again in a little while.

What tool are you calling with the first M6?

If the current tool = 0, then none of these things will happen.

if(Currenttool!=0) // No need to drop down tool if current tool number is zero
{
// Move to old tool position on XY plane

exec.Code("G00 G53 X" + ToolX[Currenttool] + " Y" + ToolY[Currenttool]);
while(exec.IsMoving()){}

// Drop current tool

exec.Setoutpin(Dustopenport, Dustopenpin); // Open the Dust with pneumatic valve
exec.Wait(3000); // Wait one 5000msec
exec.Code("G00 G53 Z"+ Ztoolrelease); // Move Z axis down to tool holder position
while(exec.IsMoving()){}
exec.Wait(2000); // Wait one 5000msec
exec.Setoutpin(Rackopenport, Rackopenpin); // Open the Rackin with pneumatic valve
exec.Wait(3000); // Wait one 5000msec

exec.Setoutpin(Chuckopenport, Chuckopenpin); // Open the chuck with pneumatic valve
exec.Wait(1000); // Wait one 1000msec
exec.Code("G00 G53 Z"+ SafeZ); // Move Z up
while(exec.IsMoving()){}
}

Thanks as always for your input Gerry,

Just depends on the cut file to be honest. Any tool from 1 to 9.
