Tool Change on Lathe with rack tool container was created by RobotMatic
Hi.
I' m using a lathe with a rack tool container. It is not a magazine ! It is not a manual tool change ! .
The rack tool container is a table with a lot of tools.
I need a continuous change of tools .
Example
T1M6
G0G90.......
G28G91Z0
T2M6
G0G90......
G28G91Z0.
T3M6
G0G90......
G28G91Z0..
In my linuxcnc. I have to press the continuous button between tools. I need to eliminate the manual change of tools.
How can I do this with Linuxcnc?
Regards,
Eduardo

their are many ways to control a toolchanger , but we need more information , details of your machine , type of toolchanger and how it is connected etc , stepper motor or servo
you type of interface to your pc etc , given this information we can advise further
the most common way is using the inbuilt plc in linuxcnc 'classic ladder , also this can be done by writing a 'component ' to link in motor and encoder / switches for the toolchanger
any wiring diagrams available etc ? , more information the better

www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/structure.html
The development branch includes a demo of a G-code remapped rack changer: configs/sim/remap/rack-toolchange
That will be mainline in 2.6 and can be used with some confidence at the present time.

For a rack-type toolchanger where tool-change happens by axis movements then the third option of G-code re-mapping might be appropriate.tthe most common way is using the inbuilt plc in linuxcnc 'classic ladder , also this can be done by writing a 'component ' to link in motor and encoder / switches for the toolchanger

Remove the manual tool changer component and connect
iocontrol.0.tool-prepare to iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
iocontrol.0.tool-change to iocontrol.0.tool-changed

Don't forget that you need a G43 to apply the tool offsets.

Thank you for reply !!
Today my lathe worked !!!!!!
Solution by JT
Remove the manual tool changer component and connect
net tool-prepare iocontrol.0.tool-prepare => iocontrol.0.tool-prepared
net tool-change iocontrol.0.tool-change => iocontrol.0.tool-changed
but when M6 is activate , turns off the splinde. it is not necesary !

That's an INI file switch:
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini_co..._sub_emcio_section_a
TOOL_CHANGE_WTH_SPINDLE_ON = 1
