Are there any centroid (or ajax) users here with tool changing mill?

[Michael M]

I have to do manual tool changes on my Tree 325 (CAT40) but I thought I'd mention that I just got my TT1 tool setter installed today, and that sure is slick. I double checked it against my manual numbers and I was usually within .0015" of the TT1, but I suspect the TT1 will be more consistent over all, not to mention a lot faster.

The digitizer uses the same port so I'm hoping it works too but I'll give that a try tomorrow and see how it does for probing/centering/edge finding.

cheers,
Michael

Anyone else have any input on this? Thanks Bill Griffin

If you have a newer software version you can modify the program to do just about anything. It can be a daunting task to someone who's never dealt with modifying the PLC programs on a Centroid control. You can contact Atrump and they could hook you up.
