This is my first post to this forum.

My job involves operating/set-up/programming and sometimes repairing cnc
mills for a small manufacturer. My employer bought an old (as in it originally
ran from punch tape , 1980 maybe?) Cincinati Milicron VMC 15. The intention
was to mount a multispindle head and create a single purpose machine. The
problem is this machine returns the tool to the magazine at the end of every
cycle.

Anyone here have an idea on how to override this ? We need to stop the
toolchange at cycle end and also the toolchange at startup behavior.

Any suggestions incuding wild guesses appreciated , I'm willing to experiment ?!?!?
