Good Evening!
I'm having an issue where my programs will not begin when I select cycle start at the beginning of a cut or when a tool change is called. It's been doing this since day one that I got my machine working so on software version 3.42 and 3.43. I'm using the MASSO post processor for Aspire (inches). I'm sure I'm doing something stupid... any help[ will be great.
Full Description: Cycle start does not begin the program. I have to hit single block then cycle start until my spindle turns on. Then I turn single block off and back on. It then moves to the beginning of the program. I select single block and again, cycle through the first few lines, turn single block off, then when I hit Cycle Start the machine runs smoothly.
I have been making separate files for each tool needed because when it calls for the tool change, I will change the tool and hit cycle start or CTRL+S and nothing will happen. If I press single block, it moves to the beginning of the program, which does me no good lol.
Below is some of the code for a program requiring a tool change. First tool runs fine with me completing what iI stated above.
