Need Help to Create a Lathe Toolchange Macro
« on: February 05, 2020, 12:22:15 PM »
hello everyone,

i have an older Emco PCTurn 55 Lathe with an automatic 6-position toolchanger which is on a retrofit to Mach4 right now. As a controller i use a Pokeys57cnc board. On the way to find a solution how i can use the original toolchanger with mach4, i found this older topic:
 https://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=post;topic=38376.20;last_msg=260762
sadly the conversation ended up with no final result :/ i tried to ask both users if their can help or have a final solution right now.. but i didn`t get any answers...

i want to make my machine runing... what i solved is the homing of my toolchanger. that works! what i need right now is the toolchange inculde setting the right offset.
is there anyone who can help me to fix my problem?
the machine is in my livingroom...so i can try some changes directly.

best whishes from germany,
Andy
