hey all i'm having issues with my machine when it calls a tool change.
everything has worked fine for years, the manufacture hasn't used mach for years and we are stuck.
we thought it mite be the grab bar sensors. i took the spindle off and took it to them to test. they took it apart and tested them and said they are working.
so i put it back together and changed the sensor wires from the spindle to the plc, and i still have the same problems.
****what it doing****
if i call for a tool change
1st: it goes and puts the in the tool holder
2nd: it releases the tool (but doesn't move z up) and gives me in the status bar (no characters found in reading real value, block=g00 g53 z)
there are 2 macros for m6 start and end
any idea?

did my macros upload?

ok i when through the startm1
i believe it has every thing to do with the
'Release tool and retract
Label1:
Call ActivateSignal (18) 'Open Tool Clamp
Call ActivateSignal (16) 'Air Blast
Sleep 2000 'Wait for clamp to activate
While GetOemLed(1019) = 0 'Clamp LED - Clamp=on, Unclamp=off
Wend
seems its that clamp led.
but i'm not sure what controls that

don't know witch motion controler you are using, but it look's like
the unclamped signal from your spindle, however this is made,
is not working.
a bit more info about the installed hardware would be helpful.
