    Default DMG 310X M code question

    I'm attempting to develop a sub routine for a bar puller.
    The DMG 310X manuals do not, at least as far as I can see, list the M code to open/close the chuck or collet.
    The common M10/M11 codes inserted on a line by themselves are rejected by the 810D control as being invalid.
    Anyone have any experience with this type of application and the M code required?
    Thanks
    Paul

    Don't know your machine but I'd try M06 / M07
    Unless you know they're for something else.

    The manual for my CTX 310ECO (ECO not a high line DMG) with a siemens says:

    M437 closing chuck/collet
    M436 open chuck/collet

    M433 open chuck/collet with spindle in rotation // I'm not sure what that is for?

    It also says:
    M484 - internal piece clamping (flanges) main spindle
    M485 - external piece clamping (shafts) main spindle

    Part catcher
    M681 - Part catcher of unloading pieces in position of job (high)
    M680 - part catcher unloaded pieces in position of rest (low)

    I don't have the code right here, but I have a routine on the machine and if memory servers it is:

    spindle stop
    grab part with bar tool using normal moves
    M436
    move with normal moves
    M437
    withdraw bar tool

    Thanks for the M codes, correct and confirmed in MDI mode and in the sub program itself
    Good to go
    Appreciate the help greatly
