Hi everyone!
I am setting up a vertical Cincinati milling center with analog servodrives and analog spindle. Everything is working good.
Now, I have to set up the tool changer and I would like to look at an example.
My tool changer is non random, it is a disk with 16 tool pockets and it have a pneumatic cilinder that moves the disk to the spindle position.
Z axis have to be positioned first at the disk coordinate. Once the disk moves to spindle position the disk hold the tool. The tool release valve have to be set and the Z have to move up. When Z gets in the higger position, the disk rotates up to the tool programed and then Z move down and the tool clamp valve will be set. To finish, the disk is moved back to rest position.
I usually configure tool changer with Fagor and Siemens controls. With the LinuxCNC I am kind of do not know how to start.
Any examples with help a lot. Thank you.

Have a look here, there should be a config in the attachments on that topic that uses the same type of toolchanger, but not sure if it was the fully functional version.
