Hi folks,
Well the turret issue continues, I'm going to pull it off over the weekend and begin stripping it down.
In other news I tried to get it to do a tool change via MDI in case the issue was with the manual dial/button.
I have a user guide, FANUC 21i , but that doesn't match my controller or button layout
So this is what I am doing on FANUC OT-B:
I enter MDI mode (press MDI button - it goes red)
I try to type a programme (o0000) then INSERT, or EOB, then INSERT - I get a P/S error
So I try to enter M06 T2 EOB INSERT
Anyway - I keep getting a P/S error
I have a haas cnc mill which I understand but FANUC is confusing as hell, and I can;t find any guides to OT-B anywhere, so if anyone can assist I would be very grateful
It has a rs232 port, so there is the potential for me to send G code to the machine too (I have heard hand coding fanuc OT-B is painful) - but again, I have no idea how to do this on the fanuc, so any assistance would be great
Thanks!
Hi procedure for tool change in manual mode.
MDI- program- m06 enter-T2(or which ever number you want to go to)enter- cycle. If you have a door normally requires
this to be closed, will come up with error message and will require re typing commands.
hope this helps

Just an update from using my machine the enter that I refer to is actually "Input"
Thanks, I found a guy on ebay selling the same machine as I and he very kindly chatted me through some stuff on the phone and then sent me his manual - absolute star of the bloke
Still can;t index the turret, but at least I can home the machine and code/save/recall programs now
