I can't get the machine to perform a tool change. I've always had umbrella type tool changers. My other machine is a Cadet-Mate with same control. As long as there is a tool in the carousel in MDI a simple M06 T# and machine performs tool change. With the umbrella type tool number always lines up with Pot #
With the MX since it has side arm tool changer the tool numbers don't need to match. But I was trying to load tools into the magazine by inserting in spindle and tool change into mag. In MDI I type M06 T# and I get alarm saying to many "T"s.
I've tried using procedure in manual. Machine acts like it wants to but just sits idling like it's waiting for more info. I deleted existing tools in menu but then it said tool doesn't exist.
Thanks for any help
