Trying to figure out the programmable tail stock on our machine. I'm not sure how the sequence of events is supposed to work but i think we may have an issue in the wiring so i was hoping someone can shed some light on the subject. When we do a M31 and the quill body extends. A M32 should retract the quill according to the M Code list in our manual but it retracts the tail stock body instead. We cant get the tail stock body to travel towards the chuck so i am not sure which M code sequence accomplishes this task. From what i understand on how the tail stock should work is that you move your Z to where you want your tail stock to stop for machining your part and the tail stock body moves until it hit the stop dog on the carriage and then you program a quill extend(M31). Once done machining you command a quill retract(M32?) and then another M code to move the body to the stop dog on the retract side. I may be incorrect in my assumptions? Does the M32 retract the body until it hits the retract dog and then the quill retracts? Please Help!
