We have 3 Nakamura WT lathes, a WT-250 and 2 WT-150s. ONE of the machines will NOT allow indexing of the turret unless the B-axis is in the Home position. The other two will. What I'm looking to do is make the other two lathes not index unless the B-axis is homed. That way I won't have to worry as much when I come in in the morning after night shift has run the machines and find a note saying "Spindle Crashed". Again.
When I try indexing on the one machine I get "W 408: B-axis Not At The Zero Position" error.
I used to just automatically include G0 G28 B0 right after the safety block of the program, but lately I've gotten out of the habit. Is the index inhibit parameter controlled, or is it in the ladder?
Thanks in advance.
