How did you have the 3D probe attached to the spindle? I didn't see a nut, and I'm also not sure how you're able to then use the same probe as a tool touch plate without a Z offset error. Would be helpful to know, thanks!
when you say "Next up will be swinging into position on a Onefinity Woodworker Pro." do you mean it would be out of the working area and it will swing in when needed? so it wont take up any work area? or did i get that incorrectly. I would 100% buy this if it wouldnt take up work area, all my plans use full sheets and im using all the surface area I have, its hard to let that go
Thanks for the question and Comment! Yes you are correct. I do have a quick video of some testing on the prototype which was a bit loose. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J6H9xzozvWI.html&t I moved the tool setter to the swing platform and I am refining the rest of it now . I hope to have it available soon so keep an eye out for it.!
@@RapidChangeATC Love It!!! Great Job!!! cann't wait to get this, how can I get notified when its ready to purchase? do you have a email list i can sign up?
Thank you for the question! The main advantage to me is that it take up less bed space. Only the leading pocket needs to be accessible and it holds 8 tools. The only Con is that it needsto use one motor axis.
Good luck getting any help with integration from Masso. We have been waiting for an output signal to enable Ohmic Sensing on their Plasma software for eternity. They love to sell controllers not support them.
@@RapidChangeATC do you have a hole pattern required for the mounting plate? I'd like to incorporate the mount into the bottom plate on the gantry assembly. Then I'll just design an extended gantry on the right side to use the ATC
Why dont you have the tool touch sensor and adapter for sale on your site? I found your product while planning my PrintNC build, and luckily I haven't ordered my kit from three design since I'll now want to make my build bigger to accommodate a rapidchanger but I also want to buy the touch probe and adapter. Also, can you confirm that the premium version has everything preinstalled so there is nothing else I need to buy?
Thank you for the comment! We don't stock the tool setters but we included the adapters with every magazine. the only other thing you would need is extra clamping nuts and collets. So other than that everything is pre installed. Here is a link to the 3D touch probe: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BDSDSJF6
This would be perfect for the Milo 1.5 CNC mill. If you’re interested in working together on testing the turret version of your system on a Milo, let me know.
Perhaps you could integrate a controllable phase inverter with a switch next to the magazine that can be activated and switched with G-code to change the direction of rotation
Thanks for the comment. It wasn't aligned that well to begin with actually. That prototype was slightly off center by about 0.6mm the hub was 3d printed. The nice thing about the rotary turret is that it's controlled with a closed loop stepper motor so it's more forgiving with alignment.
@@RapidChangeATC Thanks. I just they just added this macros. I'm still on the old firmware. This would be great option for me to add ATC on my system without breaking the bank. But I'm gonna need to upgrade my 1.5kw spindle and move to ER20 before purchasing your system. I felt my 1.5kw is underpower even compare to regular 110v compact router.
I'd like to see this on a benchtop mill eating steal and al without pulling cutters out. Its this for me or rigging up my own version of tts. Im not converting my r8 to pull stud if i can help it.....
Thanks for the comment! I have a few videos showing it cutting steel and aluminum but only with High Speed 400hz spindle. What type of spindle does your machine have? is it on a pulley? or a High speed spindle?
@@RapidChangeATC I have a 750w servo going on plus belt drive when I cnc convert my g0704. Nothing fancy. Servo and it's drive comes from rattmotor via Amazon.
Hello Chanel RapidChange Automatic Tool Changer, can you show something about the frame Dual Z CNC for me to Reference I want to build one like this. Thank you so much. This is the first time I build a new cnc machine, but a have the experience with manual milling and lathe machine. Ps: sorry, that 2nd comment about that.
Tinned wires don't go in screw terminals if there's any current load on them. That's how melted screw terminals happen. Bare copper or ferrules are the better way.
Thanks for the comment and it's a Great point!. It would be simple to have a right and left and I realize the geometry of the main plate can differ for different machine configs.
Thank you for the question and comment. It will be available this fall. I still have to work out the more stable joints but I don't think that will be too difficult. We will be doing a limited pre-order batch at a discounted price. Those who jump in early will be able to get them as we start final production ahead of the release. I will be releasing the details on that in the next week.
That is really cool. Would be neat if you could come up with an arrangement that presented the tool and nut/collet with enough clearance all the way around so a standard dust shoe could be present around it for load/unload. That would also keep the junk cleaned off during load/unload if the dust collector was on.
Hey Rapidchange very cool products! I do have one concern which I hope you could take away; Have you guys tested or asked to manufacturers of spindles whether it is ok for the longevity of the spindle if it torques the collets like that? Is it ok for the spindle to be stopped so quickly/under that stress? I can imagine the spindles were not meant for this use. But perhaps it is ok just like a normal hand drill, I dont know. Looking forward hearing from you. Greetings from Amsterdam
I have been using it on one machine for over 2 years. The spindle is not held in a stalled state so they don't heat up from the low RPM. I have not seen any evidence of the sudden stopping of the spindle causing any problems they also work with a brake resistor that is somehwat common place for spindles and that will stop the spindle instantly so I can't see why it would and have had no reports of spindles deteriorating. We started field testing a year ago last May so they have been in service for over a year now on a variety of machines.....
@@RapidChangeATC thanks for the fast reply. That sounds assuring enough, like is said before I dont claim to be an expert in spindles but that was just something logically I would check. I trust your logic and time spent in researching this topic. Thx.
