ATC problems:
Tool change request via MDI does not give right corresponding tool pocket. Seams random. request pocket 3 and get pocket 9 etc.. anyone have any ideas?
 
Mazak doesn't use tool pocket numbers, just reloacting them to any pocket to pull them from same pocket later. T1 tool never stays in the #1 pocket, it goes where the last one gets switched out from into the spindle.
 
Your tool file will show the current pocket where a given tool# is currently located. This assumes a swing arm tool changer, not the plain umbrella type.
