    Default ATC Spindle How to set them up?

    Hi there

    Could some one direct on how to set up an ATC Spindle, I am trying to Install a CC spindle, which is a copy of HSD,
    Just a general Guide I need,
    particularly on its sensors, do I need to address them in my ATC VB Scripts?

    regards

    Usually, yes.
    What sensors does it have?

    You want to at least check the sensor that tells you the tool has been picked up.

    Hi Gerry


    thanks for the reply
    this is what i thought to be, do you know what is the Script code that address them?
    The sensors are for:
    1: Chuck Closed
    2: Chuck open
    3: Running Spindle


    Let's say that i have dedicated Input4, Input5, and Input6 for my sensors.
    do i need to address them in my M6 Codes, If yes please tell just the few lines needed for this matter.
    Could it be done with following codes:

    If IsActive(input4) Then
    Code "M5" Trying to stop everything, If there is better way please let me know
    End if
    Exit the Sub


    also could it be like a Limit switch or Estop, that I do not need to address them and they just stop everything when they are turned on?


    Regards
