Hello all,
I have already one CNC milling machine with an MK2 board in use and I am pretty happy with it.
Now I am building a second one and I want to equip it with a rotary type tool changer. ( collets are stored in a rotating disk and a arm takes it and moves it to and in the spindle)
But at the moment I am not sure how to build this on the electrical side.
Is somebody around who has such a system in use?
Is it possible to controll this completely via the MK3 and scripts or is there a posibility to go over a LOGO module?
There is to controll:
- Rotation and position of the disk - servo or step motor
- pivoting of the arm (+ position sensors) - servo or step motor
- extension of the arm (+ position in/out sensor) - pneumatic cylinder
- lifting and lowering of the arm (+ position sensors) - pneumatic cylinder
Best regards,
Marc
