OK - wrapping up the work on the Citizen Cincom F12 swiss lathe (Fanuc 3T control).
That last thing I'm trying to get going on this machine is getting the C-Axis to index.
I can run an M18 and the live tool spindles will turn on along with the main spindle indexing to "zero" and locking up.
Then I try to command a C180. or C90. and it skips right past that line of code until it reads an M20.
The stepper drive unit must be working.
I almost think having the ability to index the spindle was a 900 parameter option - can anybody confirm?
