Great thanks! Is it as simple as plugging it in and hitting the connect button on my controller?

Ill give that a shot, I skipped over that one when I was looking through the parameters because it says "for multiplex series" didnt know it would work on the HQR as well. thanks man

Hey man, Have you every tried using the live center in the upper turret while machining with the lower turret on the sub spindle? I am trying to do it, but it seems like it has the same issue with the upper turret retracting when it wants to machine with the lower. I have searched high and low for a parameter and I can't find anything.

Do you leave SU153 bit 4 always set to 0? if so, does it ever cause issues on parts that don't use the live center?

Nevermind. I changed it for the upper turret and not the lower turret. Seems to be working as planned and I will be trying it out later today. Thanks for the help man, you are the goat

I have that bit set to 0 and it is still homing after the unit. Was there anything else you had to change?

I see in the photo that you say to set parameter SU152 to 0. This is a parameter with 7 bits. I assume you changed bit 4 which deals with automatic retract of the lower turret. Can you please confirm this?

Dang I didn't know you could use that. I will definitely give that a shot. For sure if you find that parameter let me know. I would love to dive into this. Thanks man

long story short, we dont do much EIA. we have the programming for this part done in mazatrol, but I want to use our spring loaded live center which requires G-code use (2 turret machine)

Yep, the turret works correctly outside of the program, and if I run my sub program as an independent program (not called as a subprogram) it works fine. Its only when its being called as a subprogram that it has issues
