Hi very good setup 😁 I’m working to do similar automation setup, can you explain what tool number you use in pathpilot for the bar puller and give me idea for programing. If i take any tool number the machine want to chose in atc or wait i put in an start! How to get around this? thanks in advance 😁 Marc
Couple things: 1) Shoes! How the hell can you walk around a metalworking shop barefoot?!? 2) Are you for real about chaining 4 I/O boards together? This is the first I have heard about this. So you just plug them all into the USB of the tormach control computer? Hot damn that is awesome. So that gives you 12 in and 16 out? Ooooh that opens so many possibilities for me....
1 - never. shoes are the devil. also our shope is WAAAAAY cleaner than your average every day metal shop. 2 - yup. i may post a video detailing that next week, as i think we maybe getting that question a lot.
I thought it was standard safety practice to wear top grade safety steel toes in a work shop. You're in and around heavy equipment, and heavy material after all. Either way, just wanted to say, that is a pretty cool bar feeder and parts catcher. :)

That's an awesome setup dude. That must've set you back a pretty penny.
"So what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, I'm a tool and die maker...."
Get it? :D
Nice automation on your Tormach!
thank you. we've refined the setup a bit. will post an update video shortly
You got the clear path to work on the fourth axis! can you elaborate on the fix? I remember you asking you tube for suggestions did any one help?
yup. going to post a video on it shortly
Thanks
neat video. keep making awesome dice. will be sure to add more to my ever growing collection :)
What is the cost for the air closer? I am thinking about using one on my diy rapidturn.
price them out over at dunnham tool. around 2 or 3 grand for just the closer if memory serves.
So the ClearPath servo is working great?
yup. love them. we run almost 2 dozen of them

nah, nothing we do is heavy. that bracket we machined in this video is the largest thing we've done in over a year.
glad you like the project!
