Re: Lathe ATC Easier Macro?
Steve,
Attached is the cnctch.mac file for the indexer tool change that I am using. Air solenoid is on input 2. The 4 second pause could be shortened. I set it to 4 seconds for testing after air system reconfigure for testing.
Not using the internal switch for homing I just leave it at tool 1 position before shutting down. So far I have not had a problem with it.
May add a sensor to detect when the turret is Open before the motor can move to speed up the tool change and for safety.
My motor settings are:
Axis 3, Rotary, "A"axis, Steps/Rev 6400, Overall turns ratio 108.0001

Thanks Marty,
Thank you Peter for the information.
I'll post follow up photos as I get more of the fab work done.
I'm ready to move to the headstock riser now, that will take a few weeks to complete.
