hello,
i am trying to put in a 4" shell mill with empty pocket on each side, can't seem to get the tool in pocket 1.
in pocket tool table i clear everything.
press origin key, 0 & origin keys, 3 & origin keys, space & enter keys, then
i enter an "L" in pocket 1, then origin & "Y" keys.
my pocket looks like :
SPNDL = 1
1 L = 2
2 - = 0
3 = 3
4 = 4
5 = 5
6 = 6
ect.
23 = 23
24 - = 0
everything probes fine on shell mill (tool 1), press next tool and tool 1 is placed in pocket 1
i probe tool 2, a 1/2" end mill, press next tool key (here's the strange part)
the arm grabs tool 1 off the carousel the same time it grabs tool 2 from the spindle.
it places tool 2 in pocket 1, carousel moves 2 places and tool 1 is placed in pocket 3.
next up, after tool 3 is probed, next tool pressed and it is placed in pocket 5.
what am i doing wrong?
thanks,
richard
