M PLUS need to reteach spindle orientation

[bonestock]

Long story short - I had to pull the spindle motor on my VTC16 to troubleshoot noise issues. Now the spindle does not orient to the proper position needed for tool change.

I hope there is a procedure reteach or a parameter to correct it by a few degrees -- because I would rather not pull the motor off again.

On my T2 and T3 machines this is adjusted on the spindle controller, but maybe this is not applicable to the VTC16.
What spindle controller do you have?

I managed to resolve this. I had to open up the hidden parameters and set "SP7" to the correct encoder location.

I love when you are solving the same problem again -- you can't remember how you did it the first time. Then google pulls up your own thread where you posted the solution. I need more coffee.

I've been there. There's a magical code that lets you see the "other" parameters. Then you have to orient the spindle where you want and enter the encoder reading into the parameter. I've done it on a few Integrex machines, but I have to call Mazak every time to walk me through it because I forget all the steps.

1131 is the code for mazak on the correct page but you can get yourself into a bad spot if you just start changing things id make sure you have the machine parameter list
