Spindle Head

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Hello everybody,

 

Is there any way currently to draw in the spindle head on my mill to be visible and active in the backplots & verify screens? This would also be coupled with MC's ability to detect crashes from the spindle head itself if it were there I would think....

 

Possible? If so, how?

 

Tks!

So recent it's almost funny. Thank Henk!

Implemented change to the 'holder.mcx' file to get the spindle head in my 'lathe/tools' folder (Using a Mazak Integrex e500). All my tools are based upon a Cat50 mill head. When I back plot, I get the newly drawn spindle head. When I verify I get the tool, but no holder or spindle head.

 

I tried using the same holder.mcx file in the mill tools folder, with no better result (restarting MC inbetween). But it does show up if I use a mill Machine Def, but not a lathe def.

 

Any ideas?
