I have been idly pondering a rotary rack toolchanger. The idea is that the spindle replaces the tool, then makes an arc-move to index the rotating rack, them releases, moves up, and selects the next tool. The drawback is that tool order matters, or a change takes a long time. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
