    I need my machine to perform the following sequence on tool change.

    step1 Z AXIS HOME

    step2 Z AXIS DOWN 100MM

    step3 ACTIVATE OUTPUT 3(PNEUMATIC PISTON PUSHING TOOL CHANGER CAROUSEL)

    step4 WAIT 1.5SECOND

    step5 ACTIVATE OUTPUT 4(DRAW CLAMP RELEASE)

    step6 Z AXIS HOME

    step7 SELECT DIFFERENT TOOL (AXIS A) 8 TOOL CHANGER

    step8 Z AXIS DOWN 100MM

    step9 DEACTIVATE OUTPUT 4(LOCK CLAMP)

    step10 DEACTIVATE OUTPUT 3(PNEUMATIC PISTON RELEAVED CAROUSEL HOME)

    END OF TOOL CHANGE.

    I am currently working on a 10 position Rotary ATC macro did you find what you were looking for?

    If not take a look and let me know if this is what your looking for?
    Be Safe,

    Hi Anna, I have been programming a swing arm style ATC for a benchtop mill over the last 6 months. If you still need help, let me know and I can give you some tips. Its really not hard to work with once you get the hang of it.
