Are you running a 32 bit or 63 bit with the CSMIO hardware?

If you release the Igus chain from the Z axis you should be able to get the height to 2045mm.


I am using XP 32 Bit but using a 64bit OS is not a problem with Mach and an external controller.

I have attached the ladder again, this has a newer date so should be the one I am using.

Thanks for the code.

I want to skip off work now and go look at the machine, but the boss watches the door.

Do you run a business doing upgrades or machine work for people?

I work for myself, most of my work is repair and fabrication and refit of fishing boats and I use the machines to make parts for doing that.

Thanks for the code. Looks good.

I will use it once I have the machine sorted.

This is the VB that I have in the M6Start macro, M6End is empty.

 'Toolchange macro for Chiron FZ12S
 
 Code "G53G0Y310Z-5M3S200"
 While IsMoving()
 Wend

SetTool =GetSelectedTool()
 
  tool = GetSelectedTool() Mod 12
  If Tool = 0 Then
  Tool = 12
  End If
 
 Do                                       
 Call SetModOutput (tool,1)                 
 If GetInput (tool) Then Exit Do 
 Sleep 10
 Loop
 Call SetModOutput (tool,0)
 SetCurrentTool( SetTool )

BTW do you have a parts manual or maintenance manual for the Chiron?


Hood

I got a full drawings of the unit, electrical and mechanical.

There is also a book on programing the Sinumerik unit

Also the instruction manual.

I could get it scanned for you into PDF.

I would really appreciate the mechanical drawings if it wasnt too much hassle to get them scanned.

I will bring them to work and see if I can get them scanned.

Will email once I have a copy.

Went to look at the Chiron and picked up all the arbours. There is a full set for the machine. Two are still installed. The others where lose.

Looks all intact and complete except for arms on the tool changer head.

Got a photo of the tool changer if you want to see
