I've got a Mori Seiki NLX 2500/700 that has become pretty much my machine. I've just set it up on a job that against my better decision, I have three angled live tools that hang out of the holder far enough on the turret that if the turret rotates at X home position, any one of these tools will go into the back wall of the machine. I have the program set to rotate the turret in a safe location. My worry is that if someone rotates the turret in manual without paying attention, it would be the first major crash on this machine since it was put on the floor. Does anyone know of any options to lock out the operator from being able to rotate the turret manually, or have any other ideas that would lower the chances of something going wrong. The controller is a M730BM, and in the operator's panel there are two options; Turret Indexing function and Turret Indexing teaching. I don't know what these options do and have yet to find any info on them.
