Great video. I fitted the fourth axis to my X7 a few months ago. Where did you get that tailstock from - looks great? The thing I dislike most about the tool setter is that the H position for a new tool is not the default tool number. Sometimes the numbers align and sometimes it does not change. Something I have to be super careful about. Are you happy with the electrical cabinet cooling?
The tailstock is an option from Syil. I don’t think most people know or order it. Agreed on the tool setter. However I modified the screen to always reflect the tool in the spindle. I think the cooler does a decent job. My shop does not have AC. It always seems cooler in the cabinet than ambient air temp.
Thank you for the reply. I wish Syil had given me the option of purchasing a tailstock. By the way the "Cooler" is not a cooler. It is just a heat exchanger so it can never be as efficient as plain old fresh air being blown into the cabinet. The purpose of the cooler is to keep outside air from carrying dirt into the electrical cabinet. In my situation environment is clean so I added an extra air circulating fan and exhaust vent and removed the heat exhanger and blocked off the outside air vent. So now I have two fans blowing filtered cool air into the cabinet and exhausting it through one exhaust vent.. The problem with the existing setup, cool air congregates in the bottom of the cabinet and hot air at the top. The sensitive electronics are in the top of the cabinet. The factory "cooler" is not powerfull enough to circulate the air adequately inside the caninet. Anyway those are my observations. Can you give a tutorial on how to fix the tool setter H position issue. Or is it a bit complicated? Cheers John@@MaDuceRules
Keith, I wrote the macro to support the arm style tool changer also. However I made the screen to only support 12 tools since that’s what I have. I my at some point update the screens to support 16 tools. I made the guard.
@@MaDuceRules Thank you. Ill need to make something like that also for the tool setter. I shoot chips at it with my face mill and I don't think its good for it haha.
I'm down for a donation. Say the word.
Great work!

I really need this, when we can get it sir? Pleaseeee 🙇🏻
Great video . Do you know if this works for the 16 tool changer? Also where did you get the tool setter guard ?

Send me an email to the address under About on my main page. Ill send you the CAD files for it.
@@MaDuceRules Awesome thank you I appreciate that.
@@MaDuceRules Sent. Thank you
Syil publishes the forms and macro language?
The screens are made with XML. The macros are Fanuc macro b.
@@MaDuceRules Thanks! Is there a Simulator available?
@@petermchenry8185 not really.
