Hi,
I have a Fanuc 18i mb controller.
The problem is that during a dnc program, there is no option to turn off the spindle. Even if I pause the program, I cannot turn off the spindle.
I wish to be able to pause the program (slide hold), press the spindle off button, then when ready, re-start the spindle by pressing the spindle clockwise button, then resume the program (cycle start). I also do not want the program to resume unless the spindle has been turned back on.
Is there any way that I can change this on the controller myself, or do I need a professional from Fanuc to do this?
Sincere thanks!
