How many sockets on that chain? Could it run the other direction? What about
modifying to be able to number the chain sockets so the tool locations can be
tracked? Could still have it so that if it finds an empty socket or wrong tool
number in a socket it would do a full pass on the chain to

The Toyoda FA800 horizontal with a Fanuc 16i control at MPM has a tool
changer that uses assigned pockets. Immediately after a tool change the

In fact the machine in the first post is just such a machine. The tool
holders all have a mechanical bar-code made of
11 matches
