Successful tool change operation for the automatic collet changer

Solid collets with a setscrew clamp might be worth considering for repeatable tool-length. If the tightening fixture was configured as a rotary axis then the machine could perform a coordinated move in Z at the same time.

Did you ever release the files for this? Would save me quite a few grand vs buying an arc spindle

What's the point if it takes 10x the time it would take to change it manually??

Thank you Jere! Hopefully more soon to come. I had a chance to check out weavermountainstudios and you have some exceptional work!

(sorry for my english) it's a good idea, but it's too slow... a manual change shuld be faster... imho, u can make it faster synchronising the rotation of the key for the bolt whit the z axis (the step of the bolt help), to speed up the proces u can increse the rpm of the key for the bolt... at the moment i don't have more ideas...

This was a very early test video and we were running the machine and the unit at less than 10% full speed to make sure nothing was going wrong.

the cycle starts at 0:30 and it end at 8:16... 466 seconds to change 1 tool, if this is 10% of the full speed that means that the cycle can be complete in 47 seconds... are you sure about that?

The motor is running much slower than it is capable of. You will also notice that the machine pauses for a bit between each rotation. That was us manually stepping through the sequences and visually making sure everything was okay. There is also a seperate process (from 1:05 - 2:05) to lock the spindle in place. We switched the servo horn for a spring loaded servo saver which automatically locked the spindle when it lined up so we didnt need a seperate process for that. Not sure how fast it could go however. We never had the courage to run it at full speed. It was for a fourth year project and the demo day was a few days after this video was taken. We thought it would be better to have a slow running unit rather than a broken one.

You shuld have the courage to try it faster, steb by step increase the speed of the process and if something go wrong, go back to the previous step. Try, only try. I try every day a somthing to increase the machining speed, try new patterns, try to run it with heavyer cut. All have fear but success is behind it.

Why do people post videos of things and then never follow up on how to replicate those things? This Second Industrial Revolution would go much faster if everyone had to do everything open source.

Sure, everyone works for free, giving everything away. Open source = Crap.
