I had posted about this in PM many years ago and no one seemed to have a working answer so thought I would bring it back up again.
I have a buddy I worked at Continental with message me last night just catching up and he ask me if I ever came up with a way to fix the You-ji VTL keep relay problem.
What happens is every tool change on the cross ram after it completes the relay sets back to (0). In the post we had a M0 after each tool so we could change to go back in and set it. It has been like this since the machine was installed and Absolute / Flint Machine Tool have never been able to fix it. Granted we got to where we could change it in about a minute going though all the parameter write enable process but its just a PITA. Hand changing the tools is not even in the cards. Not many people can heave a 100-150 tool over their head and many less can do it while standing on a ladder.
Its not a really big deal but I see why he would like to get it fixed. Most of their parts will use up all 12 tool slots and the changes are frequent so really no time to multi task (Flipping a 10K-15K pound part takes some time). Any suggestions I'll pas along. I'm just trying to help make his job a bit easier.
