http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Shizuoka/tool_changer_video.html The Shizuoka uses NMTB40 tool holders. If your machine uses NMTB40 the changer might work, otherwise the claw and tool pockets will be a problem (NMTB = single flange with boss on end of taper, CAT = dual flange, no boss). The arm is rotated by a pneumatic cylinder which makes the arm raise and lower, as well as rotate the wrist. The tool comes out of the spindle with the tool pointing down. The wrist turns the tool holder over, tool up, as the arm moves towards the carousel. The changer functions are controlled by relay contacts so are pretty easy to hook up. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
