HURCO BMC-20P retrofit

I remember using Carousel comp made by Andy for sure, but i do not remember why and how i used remap.
I also recall it having an index pin and a pocket pin ( pin=switch=sensor) and a relay board that controlled the tool changer that after a bit of cleaning and service got to work nicely again after wiring it to 7i77/7i70/7i71.

Hi tommylight,
After adapting your files, the tool change works!


Here are my files:

Thanks!
For my wayward spindle drive, I found 3 capacitors on the drive's internal power supply that are dead. I'm going to change all of its capacitors.

Glad you got it working, it's nice to see old machines brought back to life.

Dug from grave

As a soon to be owner of a hurco BMC 20 and a BMC 30, both of which need control retrofits afaik, Please if you can share any information on how you wired, pinned out and programmed these tools changers would be immensely helpful to me. I have a SLV40 in the deal coming as well, but that tool changer is a bit more complex.

Tommy,

Does your BMC have the 2 speed spindle motor on it ? The one that changes speed from the change in motor windings ?

Thanks!

Not that i am (was) aware of.
