Re: Torus Pro Tool Changer
Thanks Guys for the reply.
I'm interested in the method of capturing the tool holder in the carousel. Instead of the traditional fork capture (more common design - used by the system upnorth is speaking of (I think)). the tool holder is inserted in the capturing device in the carousel and a solenoid energizes and captures/releases the tool holder. There must be a return spring on the solenoid but I just can't get my head wrapped around the design. I may be over thinking it but a peek at the real thing would be helpful. Again, nothing commercial in my efforts, just want to try a new design. The Torus Pro is not the easiest design for a tool changer.
