Need help with my Mazak SmoothG Quick Turn 250MY Lathe

[Knotthead45]

I know there’s a parameter that I can change to allow me to stop the turret from going past the Z soft limit when attempting a tool change while working with longer parts. I’m having to single process, reset, and change tools manually. I just don’t know where/how to go about that, does anyone possibly have an answer?

Sounds like you have a vary long part and very deep boring bars. The BARRIERS are trying to prevent a crash? Or maybe you do not have a very long boring tool in the turret itself, but do have it defined in the tool file. Either way it thinks it is there. Or a tool defined as + that should be defined as -?

Ok this bothered me enough i finally registered to post. I ran into the same problem not that long ago

SU10 - look at the parameters book as there is a list of values that changes the behavior of the machine at tool change. My QT250 is set at "1" which is fine since i rarely do long parts. "3" should be the value so that the turret returns to Z Home before indexing.

Be careful after any parameter change!
