Weiler 160 CNC Retrofit

@tommylight No, everything is german if I didn't miss anything

@RotarySMP They just attached adjustable cams to a bar, pretty standard I guess

 

That is nice that they used switches. Schaublin embeded Hall sensors into the bed of the 125-CNC. I hope they dont fail.

I finally managed to get all the parts & wiring done. Settled with a 7I97T and a 7I84 controlled by a Raspberry Pi.
Crazy to think that the little Pi is probably 10x more powerful than the huge Siemens controller.
 

I implemented the tool changer via classicladder and it really works like a charm, pretty happy with it.

Now I just have to tune the PIDs for the servos and I can run some test parts. The Fusion360 CAM section for turning looks way simpler than for milling, pretty much just 4 operations, so I think I'll pick this up quickly.
