Mori seiki MT1500 tool changer issue

[Dablaingc]

I’m having trouble with the tool changer on my Mori MT1500.

When I try to command a tool change like it’s listed in the manual (T1001; M6 nothing happens and the error light on the panel flashes but no error is listed.

If I look at the NC system it lists a Fin error but I can’t find any information on it. If I command G362; T1001; it will orient the b axis head and make a change sometimes.

Am I missing a macro program that’s called by the M6? I’m new to Fanuc and lathes in general so I’m pretty lost.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I think you should be calling T1010 and not T1001 for tool #10

So if I’m calling tool #1 would it be T0001 and then T0002 for #2 or is it T0101 and T0202. I’m not used to the four digit tool numbers

On my MT2000 I call tools like this.

T1001;
G361B0.D1.;

That will precall tool 1 or technically "1001" in the magazine then go to the tool change home and load the tool into the spindle. Then index the B to 0. degrees and turn the tool forward for turning on the main spindle. D0. Is milling D2. Is tool facing the sub.
