Re: [Emc-users] [SPAM] Re: Anyone done an ATC?

A router ATC doesn't need to be a tool changer or even an active component. I've seen videos of ones where there's just a rack with slots for each tool and the router gantry and tool changer spindle do all the work. For tool lengths, that's what a tool table is for. You set a base tool length

Re: [Emc-users] [SPAM] Re: Anyone done an ATC?

I wanted to get an ORAC lathe until I found a teardown and rebuild forum thread on one. They're a Compact 8 clone and the back third or so of the cross slide is cut off so they don't have much travel. On Friday, May 12, 2017, 7:38:27 AM MDT, andy pugh wrote:On 12 May 2017

Works similar to the turret for the Compact 5 CNC and PC lathes. They turn one way with a ratchet pawl then back up against it. On Friday, May 12, 2017, 6:23:10 AM MDT, Les Newell wrote:Hi Gregg, The ATC on my lathe is a turret I originally made for a Denford Orac

[Emc-users] Changing key bindings on 2.8

Hi, i've looked around but methods found to change keyboard bindings in axis refer to files that aren't present anymore in 2.8. Anyone know how that can be done now? I asked also on the forum, but had no answer.. The machine is a gantry with double X, and i find annoying to use arrows for the 2

[Emc-users] installing our iso on a usb connected 1TB disk

Greetings all; Up-board on hand. dd is now attempting to copy the .iso to this disk. Up-board claims to be able to boot from usb. This is the one with 2Gb of dram, and 10Gb of eMMC, whatever that is, but at this point I am assuming its the soldered on forever version of a 16Gb SD card or

Re: [Emc-users] [SPAM] Re: Anyone done an ATC?

Me, personally, I'm specifically looking at ATCs for routers, very different as we have to go to tool holder, release, grab, and work out the new tool length. Probably more important, the initial ATC spindle selection. I'm a bit confused what all is on the market and "worth it". Danny

Re: [Emc-users] Anyone done an ATC?

Hi Andy, It isn't an Orac changer. I made it from scratch to fit my Orac. I looked at the Orac tool changer component and it appears that the component expects a 3 bit greyscale position sensor while I just have a simple switch on the pawl indicating that one tool has passed the switch. I am

Re: [Emc-users] [SPAM] Re: Anyone done an ATC?

Hi Gregg, The ATC on my lathe is a turret I originally made for a Denford Orac (a small education CNC lathe). It has 6 tools on a disc with a 6 position ratchet. A motor rotates the disc forwards to select the tool then backs up onto the ratchet to hold the tool in place. There is a
