ATC for Mori Seiki Lathe

[Marik]

I am not sure how to connect the turret to the Acorn. I checked the wizard and did not find any lines with Turret out, turret in. Could not find any schematics with such arrangement. Anybody could help?

Thanks, M

turret in out?

From my earlier post:

The Mori Seiki has a large 8 stations turret. There is a large hydraulic unit with two 100V valves. It works as follows:
1. The signal sent to the valve and hydraulics push the turret out
2. The turret motor turns to the correct tool position
3. The signal sent to another valve and the turret gets pulled back.

As suggested later it has an electric (3phase) motor and Geneva mechanism.

Thanks, M

ok.. misunderstood "out" . thought you were talking about x z movement. your "out" is turret being pushed out of locking position so it can rotate.
you'll need some custom plc program work and support, suggest you contract with Marc (cncsnw) as he has the most experience with these mori turrets.
