HC-5000 Demo

[@gerrit2107]

Why is the tool change so slow? is this a 50 taper machine?

On a large tool carousel it can take a while for the tool to get round the chain.

It's Cat 40. The large wait is the magazine searching for the new tool. As for why the arm is so slow. Maybe they have all the tools set as heavy/large. I've worked on older HCN5000's and those tool arms are scary fast.

We just got 2 of these and trust me the tool changer is not slow like this. It has to be setup correctly and tool preselected by the program before it gets fast.

Because in EIA post your not readying the next tool!...Less than amateur g-code post!

@@billymann5325 One could argue that the tool run time (like the tap cycle) is very short for this demo, so even with a tool call ahead, a 100 tool magazine still couldn't keep up...with this demo.
