Tool changes And Z Height

Hey Mike,

this thread was originally not about the Elite/Masso, but about the buildbotics-derived Onefinity Controller of the Original X-35 / X-50 (today PRO) Series.

As OnefinityCNC already answered, you can jog around during tool change (not possible with the buildbotics-derived Onefinity CNC Controller (request 1, request 2)). Additionally, the Masso offers this for manual tool change:

Setting tool change position

To be able to change tools easily, a tool change position can be set. This option is also helpful if your machine bed is very large and you want the spindle moved to a certain location for easy tool change, for example on the front of the machine every time a tool change is required.

Double click the 1: Manual Tool Change in the list and the below Tool change position window will open where the axis position for a tool change can be entered.

Automatic Door

The manual tool changer logic has provision for opening and closing an automatic door.

For more information on integrating an automatic door with manual tool change please visit the section on adding Automatic Doors
