Made my start in cnc a couple of years ago with a Mori Seiki Tl-1 lathe. This summer I managed to get a 1993 Mori Seiki MV-40B mill with fanuc MF-M6 control.
I bought it with the understanding that all manuals were with it, but the programming manual was not with it. I imagine that manual goes to the shop floor and ends up ruined or lost eventually.
The operation manual goes through tool set up and sensoring tools (2) can be added.
That's all fine I set my edge finder as sensoring tool 1 and set an empty pot and figure all is great.
So I call sensoring tool 1 "tool 1" and if I want to use it I call tool 1 to the spindle and it does it and locks spindle rotation (nice for indicator use) and do my touch offs and when done is where I'm lost. How do I get my sensoring tool back into the tool mag? Is there a special M-code? google search brings up m64, but that does nothing. Calling the next tool produces an alarm "ex1449 sensoring tool in spindle" Calling t0 m6 gets same alarm.
I can switch to handfeed and then remove the tool manually, but that does no good as far as the machines concerned it's still in there and same alarm.
Only way out I have come up with is To remove it manually and then delete it from the registry.
How do I get it back into the tool mag after use? What am I doing wrong? Is there an M code for sensoring tool removal/return to mag?
