Acorn atc pulling tool? <Answered>

[supermaxcnc]

I got a my atc working great. Although once in a while it seems to pull the tool from the carousel. Almost as if it's rapiding up before releasing tool gripper. Is there a way to add more delay to signal. Or slow down the rapid from 590ipm. To like 50??

You want to reduce the speed when it rapids to clearance height after releasing the tool to the carousel?

You can modify line 225 (under N650) in your mfunc6.mac.

Original is

Code: Select all

G53 Z0

The G53 is a rapid by default so moves at max rate. To reduce the rate, you can specify an L parameter.

Reduced speed could then be written as

Code: Select all

G53 Z0 L200

for 200 inches/minute.
