Re: [Emc-users] new tool table in linuxcnc master
Thanks so much for the replies guys. That's great. I just need 80 tools for now so can work with that and keen to try out any new features as they come up On Tue, 3 Oct 2023, 02:59 Rene Hopf via Emc-users, < emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > On 02.10.23 13:21, andy pugh wrote: > > On Mon, 2 Oct 2023 at 11:53, Roland Jollivet > wrote: > >> Just wondering, why would there be limit of 50? > > Previously the whole tool-table was sent periodically in an NML > > message and those are of limited size. > > > > That's not the case now, though.

Just wondering, why would there be limit of 50? Why not just make it 255? (surely the software doesn't care?)

Re: [Emc-users] new tool table in linuxcnc master
Have been thinking about it myself, Really great! In the CAD program FreeCAD I have a tool database there each tool is identified by a number. Should be rather simple to write a small application to get the tool numbers from this into Linuxcnc and add storage of other information such as tool time usage. I read "Upon a successful acknowledgement, LinuxCNC issues a /g/ (*get*) command to request all tools.". There could be a lot of tools in the tool database whereof only a few is needed for each G-code problem, it do request all available tools in database? If I got it correct this replace the ordinary tool table? Then a new g-code file is loaded I think it would make sense to check if all tool are available in tool database and agree with what is currently loaded into tool changer. Assuming this database replace tool table it is then up to the database program/application to implement some method to read out what tools is needed for a g-code program and keep track of what tool is currently in tool changer?

hey guys i see there is a new tool table in linuxcnc now. looks like it has great potential https://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/tooldatabase/tooldatabase.html i have a big mazak fh680 horizontal cnc mill 22tons and 80 tools linuxcnc used to have a max of 50 tools in tool table. with the new table can that be changed now? and has anyone built anything with it ready to be used yet? i am interested in having a play now I am starting to think about retrofitting my cnc mill now and obviously want to be able to use all 80 tools. its all bt50 tooling and i have about 90 holders ready to go that came with the machine regards Andrew ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
