I need to run a stable platform. Master maybe is stable enough nowadays? It seems that the absolutely easiest TC would be a linear row, push it into the working area with a pneumatic cylinder triggered by the tool-change pin, make a remapped tool routine and then release the air pressure. I still prefer if I can make a working carousel as it takes less space in the machine and can hold more tools without becoming an elephant.
What is preferred code wise, HAL or CL? /S ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
