KIA KBN 135

Anyone here know the code or macro to use on a KIA KBN 135 Horizontal Boring Machine that will allow two different parts using two different programs to be ran on the two tables at the same time without having to manually call up the program for each part when you alternate tables?

Not sure about kia builder specific--if its a rotary changer then provided your y and z are at g28 then typical is call m61 ( pallet 1 ) and m62 ( pallet 2 )

If you have shuttle type ( where its possible to have machine empty, both pallets outside of the cab ) then a bit more complicated...m60 shoves the either pallet out, an alarm occur if you try and shove it into the wrong place or at improper x location.....now once the cab is been empty then m61 loads pallet 1 provided your at z y z g28.....whereas m62 loads pallet 2 provided you are at G30 x G28 y z

YMMV

Here what we do is we load first program into memory as say for instance perhaps #O1234 and then the second part program into memory as say #O5678 and we call them up as sub programs--notably, all programs if used as sub must alwayses end in m99 and NOT in M02 or M30

Now finally, a short third program ( main program ) is written that only handles pallet changes and subroutine call...

( off the top of my head, but should work as written for most shuttle type )

O1111 (MAIN PROGRAM) G0G91G28G44H00X0Y0Z0

OOPSI !!! Forgot to unload pallet 2 before calliong M99 but if you got this far and can't figure how to do that from what I already given here then suggest consider hiring someone experienced to get it all going for you....
