Carousel component with 2 Towers. was created by leandrocontarini
I want to create two ATCs on the same machine.
I want to use two carousel components.
the first ATC I call T01 M6 G43.
How to call the second ATC tool??
ex: ..2 M6 G43
In other words, I want to have 2 tool towers, and I need to call the tools from the second tower.
Sorry for my English.

Replied by andypugh on topic Carousel component with 2 Towers.
Sorry for the late reply.
I think that you can just load two carousel components.
loadrt carousel names=left, right
for example.
Then you can enable the relevant carousel inside whatever handler script / subroutine you are using. Presumably based on the tool number?
I guess you will need some logic, if only to work out where to move the spindle to pick up the correct tool.
Handling a random toolchanger, where the tool can swap between carousels would be rather more of a challenge.
