hi al,
got a little problem.
Got a non programmable tow along tailstock with a tailstockclamp wich is a left threathed nut.
I am trying to program the tow along part (with parameters,v100= pick up position, v101= rest position.
the problem is that after positioning at Z=V100 a M00 for unlocking the nut and pushing up the tow along pen the program gives a error because programmed move to Z=V101 is not allowed with tow along pen in up position(wich isnt a bad thing actually)
now i got it working (partionaly manual) with changing the positive and negative variable limit for Z-axis and after M00 moving the tailstock thrugh "mid auto manual mode" to the positive or negative z-axis limit after witch a restart button must be pushed to go back to where you were when starting the "mid auto manual mode" before resuming the auto program.
Isn't there a thing i can try to do the tow along part with a G01 command (with VLMON on for cheching if nut is unclamped or pen is down ).

just thinking it's a e100L controll

you can cancel the tailstock barrier interlock. You can fake the description of tailstock barrier variables

Sound like an option but you would have tot be more clear about how to do this.
Manuals arnt mentioning this and i have no clue about how tot do this

i'm watching this close, as i don't know how to use our tow along, either.
u100 control is probably similar to my osp7000(?)

@mkd. Do you need more info about how i partionaly manual place the tailstock at accactely te same position so it can be usefull in a series production or was my first post clear enough.
I dont think there wil be a solution comming up about how to program the towing part.
