G'day Tom, I am often running into an issue where i'm having to disable my soft limits when attempting machining operations in 5 axes near the limits of my machining envelope. The issue seems to be that the soft limits are being checked based on the TCP position, rather than the actual axis position...

Hi Tom, Thanks for that. My method for checking whether the machine is in a stopped state is checking "if (CS0_StoppingState != 0)". However, this morning a limit switch tripped, causing the machine to stop, but the toolchange script continued resulting in the tool being ejected from the spindle ont...

G'day Tom (or whomever cares to pitch in), I'm trying to make my AutoToolChange Routine a bit more robust, and I've added some code that allows for a situation where you want to abort/pause a toolchange mid process. One of the issues which I would like to resolve is that if you hit feedhold part way...

Excellent, thanks Tom.
I will be attempting to run something today!
Cheers,

G'day, We have a job that requires a bit of mill-turn type work, and have setup a special rotisserie for the job to mount on our 5-axis machine's bed. The issue is driving the rotisserie... The 5-axis is running Analog servo drives through a Kanalog board. But we have a stepper motor and driver avai...
