General Mach Discussion / Re: Lathe toolchanger macro issues

« on: January 29, 2018, 02:24:59 AM »

Hello Jon,

had a look to the macros, and i am not getting clever of it.

i dont know your toolchanger.

is it something like shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRRlSRWfSqs ?

if you are moving a-axis in Manual mode, is it allways moving ?
where are the home positions of X and Z ?
X and Z directions are like in the Video?
how is the toolchanger satteled/locked after a Change?

excuse my bad english.

I measure all my tools in a height-setter which feeds the result straight back to Mach TT, all...

would be interested, how you do this, could you please describe.

Thank you Thomas

If i leave setcurrenttool out, any idea what would happen??

i think, as far i have walked through your code,it will work like you expected,
because the TLC is done by your c-axis.

do a little test to see what Setcurrenttool does.


-load 1024.set
-put in the tooltable  height 10.0 for tool1
-enter tool 0 in the tool Information dro
-push zerro z button
-enter tool 1 in the tool Information dro
-watch z coordinates

hi,

is it possible that your are doing th TLC twice ?

1. with the c-axis (knee)
2. SetCurrentTool(Tool) (m3 internal TLC)

just thinking while i went through your post's.

hello Anna,

if you can provide a "little" (just a little bit) bit more information about:
-you're machine
-you're Hardware
-you're requiremen's

it will be easier for someone to write a "macro".

sorry Tom
