Hi,
On two retrofit machines I see the need for a solution to end the
toolchange with toolnumber = 0 in case of failure.
Both machines have an automatic toolchanger. (100 tool rack toolchanger
and a brother typical "run through" carousel )
The tool change is programmed using G-code.
Both machines can detect that a tool pocket is empty ( or the gripping
failed )
In this case the old tool has been stored correctly, but the requested
tool is not loaded = spindle is empty.
My aim is to represent this state correctly when start cleaning up the
mess.
I tried:
# returning 0 in toolchange.ngc
This generates an error, but the tool in the spindle is still the old
one ( that has already been stored in the pocket)
# M61
only works in manual and mdi mode
# writing <_current_tool>
results in "parameter not writeable"
is there a way to archive this, without changing the LinuxCNC source ?
Thanks in advance
Rainer
