Hello, dear EMC users;
Considering the tool changing process, is there a way to send some
movement commands from PLC to CNC?
I have entered the TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION and TOOL_CHANGE_QUILL_UP in the INI
file and in the EMCIO section. This is fine and causes the tool go to the
tool change
position. Now I need to move an axis towards the tool changer, orient the
spindle, open the tool collet, move the tool changer carrousel to the old
tool position, put the old tool
back in its position, move the carrousel to the new tool position, grab the
tool, close the tool collet and go back to the cutting area to continue. I
was wondering how these
actions could be done without using subroutine calls in the Gcode? Please
let me know if I am not clear enough. Thanks
Farzin
