ATC 24 tool "Pick and Place" for 3 Axis router/machine

[poppabear]

Here is a 24 Tool (Wine Rack)/Pick and place ATC for a Router table/mill......
Read the Readme
I am working on adding a Automatic Tool Libary Touch off routine to it as well, Where you push a button and it will auto load all your tool offsets that are in your rack.

Let me know what you think...........

NOTE: The I/0 is a simple I/0 written to a DL05/6 through the mod-buss (the DL project files are there). If your not using Modbus controlled I/0 then you will need to reset the revelent I/0 Inputs 1-4 and outputs 1-5 to what ever LPT pp you want to use, as well as change spindle control back to standard(which is not enabled on the PLC program).

Just curios, how do you like it? Feedback, comments, suggestions/improvements/bugs, I see several downloads..........

One of the downloads was mine. Im not sure if I installed it correctly and havnt spend long dealing with it.
I see a blue screen with lots of buttons and DROs but not of the pictures that I see in your folder.
I accepted the extract just as you had set it.
I will have another look later.

Ynneb,

    A while back, Darc redid my 5 axis screens, and he put the bit maps in a folder called "UT", the then put that folder in "Millbit maps", instead of just Bitmaps in general like standard procedure.  I like the way he redesigned the Look of the the buttons and back ground, (Mine was very sparten, and just used the standard stock buttons, it was very non-artistic.....hehehe).
Try that and see what happens. If you want open up the screen in Screen Wiz 3 or 4, and follow the "Paths" of the missing screen bitmaps. It will tell you what directory it is expecting the pics to be in. If they are not there, put them all there.

Thank you for the feedback,

Scott

Some have emailed me and said that there M6 macro isnt in the set, so here is the M6 file, put it in your Macro folder under the router ATC profile.

I found and fixed a the tool capture/release timing issue in the M6, please use this one, it fixes the problem.
I had forgot a While IsMoving() statement
