Hi all,
I am building an auto-tool changer for a Techno machine. I have my relay box and solenoid array built and they work great. Here's my snag:
I have added an "M8" to the beginning of my post processor, and "M9" at the end. This operates a clamp that MUST remain on for the entirety of the routine. And it does, unless I change tools. If I run an M6 tool change, the clamp lets go temporarily, then re-engages. This happens exactly when the drawbar (Output1) is deactivated, and the spindle picks up the new tool. For some reason, it's deactivating output2 also. Strangely, it re-activates almost immediately.....
The macro is attached. Anyone have any ideas?
tx,
Declan
