How to get machine to go to 0 at end of program sqt18

cgmaster · Jun 7, 2017

I am trying to get my lathe to change to tool 1 and go to 0 at the end of a program so I can set parts to be turned in the Chuck using this tool as a part stop. The machine is am sqt18m with t plus. At the end of the program i have created a manual sub program that changes tools to the correct tool it hours to 0 butt therm when the machine reaches the end program line it always goes home no matter what i put in for return 2,1,0?

Your manual program line needs an M0, like
Manual, tool 1, g0 x1. z0 m0
Then a manual end.
When this unit runs it will stop (the function of M0) and wait for you to adjust stock, reclamp, then press the green button. The program will then move to the park position. If your 'end' unit is set to 'continue' it will not park, but will restart the program. Only drawback is no parts counter.

Thank you. Would be nice to have a pats counter but this will work for this operation.
