Duplomatic BSV N 160 Werkzeugwechsler / Turret

Hi Bruno

Now the Duplomatic works fine. I had to change a little bit the dulo.comp (we renamed it to duplo8.comp, becaus I have a Duplomatic with 8 places. I had a problem with the comp, because at the end of case 3 the state didn't change to 0. So I made a State 4 and a case 4 which changes the state to 0. So it works fine.
In the attachment you find the duplo8.comp.

Again - thank you very much. With your help I was able to manage the Duplomatic Turret.

Meilleures salutations

Good morning

Now my Duplomatic works fine and also the rest of my EmcoTurn 240. But I'm brooding over another question. My Duplomatic has only 8 pockets, but I have about 30 toolholders. Is there a possibility to manage that? Because in the tooltable in LinuxCNC you have to assign each tool to a different pocket. So it is not possible to put two tools on pocket 1, for example.

Any idea?

Thanks to all and best regards

Daniel

I don't know if the pocket number has to be unique but I don't think so. Maybe just give it a try. Define two tools with different numbers but the same pocket number.

Hello
It is so. LinuxCNC doesn't accept in the toollibrary different tools in same pocket.

You can't have more than one tool using the same pocket. But what you can do is have your 30 tools loaded up and saved in the tool table and merely change the pocket numbers for the tools you actually have loaded into the machine for each program. You'll be limited to only using 8 auto changing tools in a single program, but you could possibly configure using more with manual changes for the additional ones. (Not exactly sure how to configure that.)

So another idea might be to call for the same tool and thus same pocket but load the offsets of the actual tool you want.

[edit]

Another thing: Since this is a lathe turret, does the comp not handle tool positions larger than 8? Meaning if you command a position, say 10, the turret moves to position #2?
