Huh
Hello Everyone!
I am an need of a button to home my tool changer to a limit switch.
The steps are as follows:
1. Activate output 1 (lift turret)
2. Run A axis until it sees the home switch,
3. Do the double touch off for setting home.
4. Change the A position DRO to 0
5. Change the current tool DRO to tool 1 or "1"
6. Deactivate output 1 (drop turret)
This is a custom home macro for when and if the tool turret ever misses steps, or misaligns...Having this will allow the operator to easily reset the turret to tool one incase a crash during tool change, or a mechanical hiccup.
I REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP! I will be posting the completed screen sets to the forum.
P.S. this is for an 8 position servo/stepper driven cnc lathe with an air valve that lifts, and servo/stepper that indexes to a degree (tool position) then locks and continues the program...
Thanks
Mike Wink
