I’m making a tool for rotating products parallel to the milling bed. The products are clamped by a fixed “chuck” and a flexible “chuck” The chucks are 2 custom engineered clamping devices. Clamping is done with motors that get driven by MK. The fixed chuck is mounted on an indexing table (a weiss 4 position indexing table) which is vertically mounted on the bed. For that an frequency inverter will rotate the indexing table (simple I/O on the inverter driven by MK). The flexible chuck is mounted on a rail and driven with belt+pulleys so we can manufacture different lengths of products. The mill has some relays which should be able to be set by an g-code program (mill does not run on MK, but is from Mitsubishi), and also some relays where the mill can pause and wait for. These IO will be the simple means of communicating. In short, the tool will rotate (by MK) after a relay goes high, and the mill will continue if MK sets a relay on the mill. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
