Hi there

Could some one direct on how to set up an ATC Spindle, I am trying to Install a CC spindle, which is a copy of HSD,
Just a general Guide I need,
particularly on its sensors, do I need to address them in my ATC VB Scripts?

regards

Usually, yes.
What sensors does it have?

You want to at least check the sensor that tells you the tool has been picked up.

Hi Gerry


thanks for the reply
this is what i thought to be, do you know what is the Script code that address them?
The sensors are for:
1: Chuck Closed
2: Chuck open
3: Running Spindle


Let's say that i have dedicated Input4, Input5, and Input6 for my sensors.
do i need to address them in my M6 Codes, If yes please tell just the few lines needed for this matter.
Could it be done with following codes:

If IsActive(input4) Then
Code "M5" Trying to stop everything, If there is better way please let me know
End if
Exit the Sub


also could it be like a Limit switch or Estop, that I do not need to address them and they just stop everything when they are turned on?
