i think it is  a velocity and/or Acc/Dec Problem.

try some easy test by put

for example

g0x300
g0x100

into MDI line

just to see that your machine is able to follow the Speed/acc you configurated.

use the Output itself

Output - pass through     |
Output - invert Signal      | OR   delay Output

you can also try to replace

this code:

   Call SetUserDro (1152,YPos2 - YPos1 - CurrentToolDiameter)

by:

   Call SetUserDro (1152,YPos2 - YPos1 - (CurrentToolDiameter/2))

if you push your probe by Hand, is it switching imediately, or maybe after 3mm push ?

i think you do a Manual toolchange ?

than you have in Config -> General Config

panel Tool Change
option -> Stop Spindle Wait for Cycle Start enabled.
