The corousel is driven by servo motor.
If im correct in my thinking, once the carousel is homed and at position 1, the rest of the tools will be at a certain degree of rotation of the carousel? So for a 12 position carousel that would be every 30 degrees? Sounds pretty straight forward unless im over simplifying this? If this is indeed the case, what im having an issue with is in the tool table theres only options to assign XYZ to the tool. No option for rotary axis in degrees? Ive searched the internet for weeks and find very little info on planet cnc with carousel. Found a video with a geneva drive (not rotary) and a video in German which ive looked at over and over and cant make sense of. If there someone who can shed some light id be truly grateful
Thank you in advance
