Using a Mazak Lathe M5, Control is conversational only.
I am trying to machine a piece in two stages. Piece is an 8" Tube, which needs turned on both ends. Once the first operation is complete I need the tool to go into home position. I will flip the piece around and then continue the second operation.
What has been happening is in between units M0, I used UNIT Manual to send tool to home position, but it doesn't read next UNIT M0. Once it goes to home position and the tool changes it continues to run. I need this to stop until I manually hit start to run the second operation.
Can anyone help?
