Mazak Micro Slant 15 Retrofit

i put a hal component for my Cincinnati 6 station turret, with bcd switch coding it's in hal components. also written in C. and honestly, far superior to ladder logic. if you want help customizing it lmk.

Have you looked at
emcochanger.comp
and
emcochanger.hal
attached in the second post on this topic?
It can be edited to most toolchangers, it is very simple and never fails.
Or have a look at carousel component included with LinuxCNC, might be even easier as there is no compiling.

the emco turret comp has almost no error detection, and also doesn't compile. 

go look in hal examples, i wrote a robust, error detecting, estop capable tool changer for my lathe, and a few changes to the motor control scheme would make it work. 

it's a huge upgrade in terms of safety and capability over the emco program 

I'm also willing to commit some e time to making it work, maybe i buy a Mazak or similar lathe in the future ??

 

I did read about your component, but never had time to try it.
Also never got time to test the carousel component, shame on me!
Your persistance deserves respect, for sure.
Still, if i get the chance, i will test both of those.
Thank you.

it'll need to be modified to work with the Mazak, and I'm more than happy to help with that process.

then there's mazak turret program and then 1 less to create

Thanks for the help .I would really appreciate the help with your Cincinnati program .I am going to try the carousel and emco components anyway just to see how it works .Please let me know how to implement your program .
