GSK218MC-H CNC Retrofit Kit User:
Hi Mr. Huang
We now have our toolchanger working. We put in a stepper motor and driver and it is now functioning well.
How do you turn on the spindle blowing during a tool change?
I can turn it on in MDI mode by programming the M44 command, but during an automatic tool change there is no air blowing. Is there a parameter to turn it on?

After the tool unclamps, during a tool change, the Y1.5 output is supposed to turn on the air blowing through the spindle to clean the tool taper. It is activated by the M44 command. If I enter M44 in MDI mode the air turns on, but if I do a tool change, there is no air blowing. Is there a parameter to turn on the spindle blowing or do we need to change the macro?

 

CNCmakers Support:
1- No need M44 to active it.
2- Please use Y0.2 instead of Y1.5.

Y0.2 means tool unclamps
Connect air blowing relay with Y0.2 in parallel.
Then when tool unclamps, the air blowing also active.
