XATC

For my XDisPlace project i try to find a good solution to bring all (Mill, Cut, Drill, Solder dispense, Solder) processes together. I wrote a ToDo what i need to bring this project to fly. I realized, all what i need it's just to find a solution for an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC). Here i try to describe all steps how you can build your own XATC.

Project Links

• Weekly messages on g+
• Video sessions on youtube

• Chilipeppr This will be needed at runtime to perform the actual tool change.
• Arduino Only required for Servo control support.
• CNC3040 The hardware platform that i use for this project

Components

On the follow pages i'll describe the diy mechanical parts that you can mill on your CNC3040.

• Spindle lock platform All about lock the spindle, drafts, software and BOM List's
• XATC Carousel All about the central component, the xatc carousel ...
