I am in the process of setting up classic-ladder for the tool-changer on my Hitachi-Seiki NH500 Turret lathe. I am using a mesa 5i20 card for inputs and opto22 relays. For each tool position it uses a combination of inputs from six switches that follow 6 cams on a drum to dictate position input. The tool change process consists of: 1. The carriage extending to unlock with a solenoid. 2. Tool changer initializing solenoid for hydraulic motor rotating clockwise to switch combination for tool position 3. Once in position de-energize solenoid for rotation and return to locked state (also designated by switches.) 4. Depending on if it is an ID or OD tool position an auxiliary function would be then required to extend the ID tool if it is called.
Does this make sense to anyone? Has anyone used this type of classic-ladder program for their tool-changer? Does anyone have an .clp program that would illustrate how to go about this so I can get an idea of how to go about it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. clint __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6212 (20110615) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
