Tangential knife up/down with pneumatic actuator

Postby tonomar » Tue May 04, 2021 1:14 pm

Hello

There is a way to use a digital output to control the up/down from tangential knife instead Z axis?

Also will be necessary to have options for "delay on" "delay off" to make sure the knife has time to reach the position.

I guess that this control is made inside UCCNC, but it could be avaiable in a macro I think.

Regards

You can use the Z axis dir pin as an output for the pneumatics. Also, if you set the retract height and the move back/pull out feed for long and slow motion then you'll have the delay you need.
