I have a VF-1 dated 3-95 and a VF-0 dated 2-98. Both machines have umbrella toolchangers
This condition is common to both machines.
Setting 81 on both of these is named "TOOL AT POWERDOWN"
I want to inhibit tool change when the machine is turned on. Carousel index is ok, installing the tool is bad.
When setting 81 is zero(0), and POWER UP is pressed for the first time, the machine indexes the carousel to tool one, then installs tool one in the spindle.
If POWER UP is pressed a second time, (given ANY carousel position), the carousel will not index.
When setting 81 is one(1), any subsequent presses of POWER up will index and install tool one(1).
I have read about what setting 81 should do, and I do not see it following what I expect.
What am I missing? How do I prevent any tool being installed?
