Hi Andy,The tool changer uses two motors: one to rotate the carousel into position and the other to actuate the tool change mechanism.The carousel rotation has a proximity sensor fitted, which could be used to establish a reference or home position. Once the correct tool position has been indexed, the second motor drives the tool in and out to allow the machine to perform the tool change.I’ve added a video link below showing an example of the system running on Mach4. It should give a better idea of how the sequence operates.


thanks for the help !

man pages built-in.

Now working on real hal files import/export.

Es riecht stark nach zu hoher Latenz. Wie sind die Werte vom Base und Servo-thread?

I don't think moving back to the original position after an M6 is standard practice, all post should have safe move inserted after a tool change, this is not something dealt with on the machine side IMO
If your post expects the tool change to happen and the machine to not have moved and does not give you a way to implement safety moves to re-approach the work-piece after a tool change, this is just bad design of the CAM/Post the fix should be there IMO

I tried to compile this old working 4Axis kinematics (originally 5Axiskins) but getting compiling errors

Not able to understand current 5Axiskins

Can you throw some example? Zero in what?

Hello,

is there any gentelman which has running Xenomai or Cobalt kernel for his iron?

I need some inspiration or talk what, how, prons and cons ... experiences !

thanks 

This also occurs with Qtplasmac. I can replicate it if I use the keyboard to jog and click to another tab while jogging. It loses focus/control even if I release the keyboard jog arrow and I have to go back to the main tab and tap a jog button again to get it to stop jogging.
