Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice on configuring a tool changer for a Samurai 120 CNC.The machine is currently running a Raspberry Pi 5 with EtherCAT-based Leadshine EL8 servo drives and motors.
The tool changer will require two additional motors, which I haven’t purchased yet. At the moment I’m considering the StepperOnline EtherCAT servo motors, as they’re significantly cheaper than the Leadshine units.
Has anyone here configured an EtherCAT-based tool changer using two motors, or got any advice on the best way to approach the setup and control side of it?I’m also using the Probe Basic interface, so I’ll probably need some help understanding how to correctly configure everything to work with that as well.Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
