Lee, what kind of changer do you have? It's not hard to create a comp or Ladder program to handle tool changers with the normal Tx M6 codes. I use M codes to pin bang my lathe's collet closer and other functions and it's a pain to the butt to remember what M code to use, plus you get g-code that will only work with that one machine. My tool changer comp is here: http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/emc2/turret.comp I've learned a bit since I made this comp and I should update it, but it works okay for now. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
