    Most machines either have a limit switch to count the tool changer, or an encoder to track the position. Might have a bad switch or encoder.

    Spinning tool head

    I am not a seasoned veteran like most hear but I had a similar situation.
    I manualy entered a tool change and the head kept spinning.
    The maching was looking for a tool it could'nt find.
    I believe I had entered:
    T012012 when I it should have been T1212 for tool #12
    For single digit tools it would be T0101 or T010101
    I am working on an OKUMA 4va.
    Hope this helped.
