hey guys just a quick question
I have my toolchanger working now pretty good. videos to come soon. the
classic ladder toolchanger plc turns on output 6 on the 7i76 io pins which
unclamps the spindle drawbar. that all works fine. Now I want to also
have a manual spindle unclamp button like on m
My tool change component does not calculate direction as the machine's tool
changer only goes one way.
Heh, I have used LinuxCNC for a few years but I am nowhere near knowing all
about it.

could you please send me a PM with chris radeks email unless of course he
sees it here. I have no way of contacting him..
just to confirm does your toolchanger calculate the shortest path and move
the chain magazine that way to get to the required pocket?
And also I am a little stuck now
Andrew,
Here is a machine of the same make and type as the one I had.

It is somewhat different than your machine. My machine didn't have a
bidirectional tool change matrix.
Your machine looks like a larger edition of the Mori Sei
Hey andy and stuart
Andy thanks for that logic. you are right I can include it in classic
ladder or use the hal component. last night I actually found this maths on
the centroid websight just doing google searchs for shortest path
toolchanger stuff.

Andrew,
What does your tool changer look like?
I see talk about a carousel but when you say your tool change sequence
doesn't require Z axis motion I want to see how your carousel works.
I have a component I used for a side mounted random pot tool changer and an
arm to exchange the tools between a

Here are two links that I have found that I am trying to use to help me.
one is already made in classic ladder but the output controls a stepper
motor and I am not sure if it would work correctly-i can't get it to work
for me at least.

Hey andy
I have the classic ladder program I have made working fine to chose select
the correct pocket and I am getting pretty used to classic ladder now.
currently my formulas for choosing direction are simply comparing the
current pocket number to the required pocket number (C1 is the current

just checked out that carousel component that you wrote andy. It looks
very usefull and I will probably use it for my slant bed cnc lathe that I
am going to retrofit next. At this stage I would still like to use classic

I saw the Hal component that you wrote Andy. My toolchanger doesn't
require Z axis movements to work the toolchanger which is why I thought I
would use classic ladder.. But I'm fine with whatever works.. I'm
starting to like classic ladder now and it's easy to interlock all my
motors and senso

I will get back to your main points later, but there is a HAL
component that can do much of the work here:

hey Andy and Rene
I thought the wiki was the Docs. But looking in the installed html docs
that come with the iso as rene said there is nothing about random position
toolchanging. Or if there is I would love to know. I think I understand
how it works but would appreciate come confirmation.

Hi guys
I was just looking at the toolchanger wiki online and it looks like some of
the info is outdated or wrong. someone has put fix-me comments all over
it. Can someone please confirm how this works or if the instructions are
correct or not?
