Boxford 125 lathe Tool Changer Comp FERROR (SOLVED)

Is this the comp I uploaded in my last post?

If not try that and see if it behaves any different. Remember with that one you need to declare the bare angles without the extra to clear the pawl (these should sum up to 90°) then you also need to define the extra and the locking moves as well. It's all described in the comp.

Ok are you in Ipswich by any chance ?

Ok just tried your comp it loads fine then command T2 it them moved forward but did not do a reverse and hung

So did not let me command another tool

No I'm not in Ipswich, I'm in switzerland but I'm sure Ipswich is nice too.

Strange I just compiled and ran the comp above and it works just fine in my setup.
Don't know whats wrong there.

What are your settings for the angles and the moves?

I ran the comp as you sent it. I must have misunderstood.

It certainly should not have hung. But I guess we'll have to go back to the old one and work on that.

[edit]

HANG ON!! YOU NEED ANOTHER HAL CONNECTION FOR THAT ONE JUST A SEC...

I did not change any settings but I will try again with the angles to 40 to 45

Just a sec. Watch this space:

Add this to your HAL:

net toolchanger-stepgen-fb <= stepgen.2.position-fb => toolchanger.stepgen-pos-fb

I'm sorry about that.

Seems to be a success . Thanks you have been a massive help. I will put it all back together and give it some more tests.

I don't think the jog is working. I will have to check tomorrow.

Great, make sure you also try to change across multiple steps. Like 3-2 or 2-8. Before you put everything back together.
