Zack, you gotta give us a video of the Palletech robot passing the pallet into the pallet changer, and then all the craziness that goes on to get the pallet into the machine.

 

Were you using G43.4 on that test cut?

 

I'll get some more vids when i get some time. Its gets pretty intense with all that shiz going on at one.

 

yes. it was using G43.4 on that cut. I only use TCP for 5 axis stuff.

Sweet. But how in the hell do you ever see what you're machining?!

 

You can drag the control into the pallet change area so it would work like a standalone.

Then when your parts are proved out you lock out the pallet area and move the switcher to ready position.

 

I agree it is kinda unnerving not being able to look in a window and watch it run.

 

But thats where a few IP cameras come into play
