I have been following that project from the word go and it is very
impressive. I wrote a front end for it in C# but it was liberated from

You guys must then also know tinyg (https://www.synthetos.com

Well, we had to make a little circuit board to convert the Fanuc spindle
analog pulse generator signals to digital quadrature pulses and I mounted
an optical sensor to read a flag on the spindle to make an index pulse.

Woah man that is crazy how it changes tools. Never seen a machine have the

Almost seems like it would fall in that moment before the drawbar pulls it
into the taper. Interesting setup and color me jealous as hell that your

Once again, PCW at Mesanet comes through. Check out the 7I39. I have 2
connected to a 5I20 driving 4 size 23 bldc motors (and have transitioned the
system to a 6I24.) Mesa has a few other small drives as well, like the
7I40. Check 'em out.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, how is orient accomplished on that
macine? Is it completely electronic or mechanical or what? Looks like it
works quite well man Congrats!

andy,
I saw your new additions recently when you responded to my CNCzone
thread with it. I think I am using master as I recall and have not updated
it in about three months or so. Last I looked into this I have to remove
the modbus control from the spindle and wire it back to analog control.
Pete,
The fingers on the end of the drawbar that grab the retention knob (pull
stud) are spring loaded and hold the tool even when the drawbar is pushed
down. The arm just pulls down enough to overcome the spring force to remove
the tool and up hard enough for the tool to snap into place.
Nicethanks for the link. My machine uses a completely electronic
controlled orient and I am still trying to figure out how to make it work
here. At some point if I cannot get it I may have to engineer some sort of
mechanical setup but REALLY want to make it work as it came from the
factory.

Why not start by making M19 work? You can then integrate that into
toolchange later.

Pete,
It's mechanical. There is a sort of V-shaped cam in the spindle that is
engaged by a pin on the hydraulic cylinder that pushes the drawbar down. As
the cylinder comes down, but before it contacts the drawbar, the pin rides
in the cam causing the spindle to orient.
It took us forever to

I replied on a forum about G Code and I had to check up what the heck he

An arduino. And a Java program...

There's even a Youtube video with a demo and all you need listed in the
description.
The encoder is on the motor and is effectively 1000 pulses per rev
(quadrature) of the motor. The spindle is connected to the motor via a 2:1
toothed belt reduction so there are 2000 pulses per rev of the spindle.
That makes the angular resolution of the spindle to be 360/2000 degrees or
0.18
