Title: Imservice Toolchanger in Mach3
Post by: nps on April 03, 2009, 11:12:20 AM

hi all :-)

we recently got this nice tool changer from High Tech Systems Quick Switcher / Imservice:

is there already a macro for mach3 available?   ... would be really cool, because this tool changer is very affordable for everyone and is compatible with every spindle and machine you can think of. (more or less...)

if not... we are new to mach3 and it would be great if someone can give recommendations where to start, maybe giving some references to the documentation.
programming will not be the problem ;-)

thanks!

Welcome, nps.

Just a thought but maybe they will give you the macro since you bought it from them?

Thanks,
Dave

hi budman. thanks for your reply :-)

i asked them, they don't have one yet.

so where would be the right "screw" in the mach-macros to start programming? :-)   i found an M6Start.m1s with some other code for toolchangers.   should i just add another Type and start programming, or is there a more... let's say, advanced, more integrative way?

greetings from sunny austria,

Hi nps,

Interesting, I wonder who wrote their setup for the video.

I'm definitely not the one to help with macros but I would post this in the macro and vb script area as I'm sure someone there can give you better advice on how to proceed-

Dave

I know this is old but I believe Fred @ IMServi uses Deskcnc or Flashcut.
