Hello!!
I want to implement ATC using mesa 7C81. Here I want to use A -axis for rotary, so as i get command for tool change my rotary axis (A axis) should rotate. Please help me how can I handle A-axis with tool change command. What changes are required in ini, hal file and tool.tbl.
Thanks

While using a rotary axis for a tool changer does work it is really a rather outdated way of doing things. I would recommend looking at the 'carousel' component that handles tool changers in HAL rather than exposing them as axes.

Also here is a video of somebody explaining the basics of a M6 remap procedure required for tool changer integration:

Hello!!
I have implemented linear ATC. But what limits I have to set so that when file is running machine will not travel the area where Tools are planted. Machine only allows when MDI command for tool change has been given. How to set different working limits? What changes in .ini required?
