Carousel and some questions was created by hitchhiker
HI GUYS
i played with the carousel comp.. and .. possible i am too stupid for it... but.. after the homing/indexing is done.. my carousel stays at tool 1. Tool 1 is the original position where the index sensor is engaged.
so if i start the machine... home xyz.. and i call m6t1.. the toolchanger makes his initial homing.. and then stays.
if i start m6t4 as example... toolchanger search for index signal... find it.. and then goes to tool 4. Tool4 is then shown.
if i then call m6t1.. it goes to tool 1.
i play virtual with it.. mesa 7i92 with buttons and switches.. and looking to the halpins.
i search for the solution that when the m6t1 is called .. that the indexing/homing.. said.. ok now its homed and we are at tool 1.
another question.... if i had the index signal on another toolslot.. how to tell this to the carousel comp that pocket/position X is the reference point?
i use index as mode.. every tool has a detection screw which is detected by a proximity sensor-2 and index is another proximity sensor-1 that look for the screw on tool 1 which cant detect by the sensor-2.
but on tool1 sensor1 and sensor2 are active.
sensor1 looks for index
sensor2 looks for position reached.
thanks

Found my failure... the index proximity sensor was missing the counter nut... when carousel turns some vibration brings some movement in which make issues..
Thanks
