+Anthony Webb Thank you for your comment. Is there any specific parts you are more interested in: Motor(router), ATC unit, Electrical connections, pneumatics or all of the above ?
hello how did you set up your touch plate after tool changes. i am using manual tool changing. because i want that if i put the tool, an hit run it will go first to fixed touchplate after that it will go to the work piece i want to work. thanks please make a video if you could do..thanks
Hello, Thanks for the video. Did you make that ATC or did you buy it? I am looking to get one but dont want to separate with 2K USD. Can you please tell me about it?
hey! quick question... When I come up on my first tool change, I change the collet and the tool...then re-zero the new tool on the stationary probe plate....everything goes great....but my new zero offset is 4mm higher than it should be. so when my second tool starts, it is 4mm higher than where Z0 is supposed to be. what could be my issue? both my stationary and my removable touch plate are perfectly functioning, the plate is 0.25" (+6.35mm is what I typed into Big-Tex) And my stationary probe plate is a machined flat 3/8" bolt head isolated off of my work area and on the same circuit obviously as my removable probe plate. The flat surface of that stationary probe plate is 1" or so off of the machine bed. where is that 4mm height coming from you think? its 4.18mm to be exact
Hi Thank you for your comment. Before you start, you must run the "Initial Zero" routinte with the first tool. This will first zero on the Fixed touch plate and then on the moveable (Or In reverse, I cant' remember now) the point is that is touches off on BOTH plates. By doing this it calculates the offset. Then you Start the program, and then do the "Tool change zero" this now touched off on the fixed plated only, and with the previous calculated offset, it now knows this tools lenght. Can you confirm this is how you run it ? Also please be aware that Mach3 has an issue with the probing while tool length offset is active, also please check that all your tool lengths are 0. It sounds to me that perhaps this initial probing is skipped as you have a constant offset of 4mm that is not re-calculated.
hejsa... jeg tænkte på. kan du ikke bare sætte gen på holderen af spindel.. så den altid er gen, så du ikke skal sætte det slips på hver gang du skal nulstille højden... eller sender den for meget støj igennem gen ledningen når spindel køre...
Hej. Tak for din kommentar. Jeg har sat GND på spindlen, men pga.fedt/isolering i lejerne så er der ikke elektrisk forbindelse fra huset og til den roterende spindel. Nu her efter et par år hvor spindlen og lejerne er kørt til er der en god forbindelse og jeg behøver ikke længere at sætte den klemme på. Mvh. Bo.
I ould love to see a video detailing the spindle setup you have. Thanks for posting!

+Bo Andersen nothing particular. I am fascinated with your build so the more info the better! Nice job!
Are both plates on the same input? I have the same screen set.

Hello, nice setup. Can you share the macros?

Can you give more specific instructions?
hi. if you dont mind can you help me with a macro, im want to configure like your...thanks
Yes, perhaps I can help you.
could you sent me your macro for initial setup and tool change,,cause my macro cannot retract when go to fix probing plate..Thanks
What is your email. ?
Hi, my email erv4x4@yahoo.co.id
thanks
amigo me puedes ayudar con un macro para que mi herramienta busque mi palpador fijo
Thnak you for your comment, I have sent you the files. Best Regards, Bo Andersen.
