So my teacher says that , it seems like the lathe tools that are attached to the 8 station turret are not in the correct sequence anymore and need to be reprogrammed/recalibrated so that the machine selects the correct tool when the students run their programs.
Does anyone have any advice or the steps to accomplish this for the school I work in?
Thanks
Paul,
There is no “reprogramming” of tool positions, each one is detected by a switch inside the turret. The switches aren’t readily accessible.
I would recommend opening a ticket with the Tech Support team here: Jira Service Management. I would recommend grabbing a video showing the issue, that would be one of the first things we ask for.
Thank you,
Norman
I loaded my tools 1-8
Trigon roughing
Neutral semi roughing
Rh 25deg contouring
Lh 25 deg contouring
Top notch grooving
Drilling
Tapping
Parting
Plus QCTP below axis.
Works for 90% of the things I do.
Couldn’t it be just the tool numbers in the offset table vs what is in their programs? How is the programing being done? Is it conversational or CAM software?
