XATC
For my XDisPlace project i try to find a good solution to bring all (Mill, Cut, Drill, Solder dispense, Solder) processes together. I wrote a ToDo what i need to bring this project to fly. I realized, all what i need it's just to find a solution for an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). Here i try to describe all steps how you can build your own XATC.
Project Links
Dependencies
- TinyG as CNC Controller The first stable version is realized on a tinyGv8.
- Chilipeppr This will be needed at runtime to perform the actual tool change.
- Arduino Only required for Servo control support.
- CNC3040 The hardware platform that i use for this project
Components
On the follow pages i'll describe the diy mechanical parts that you can mill on your CNC3040.
- Spindle lock platform All about lock the spindle, drafts, software and BOM List's
- XATC Carousel All about the central component, the xatc carousel ...
