TooChain Exchange Position

Hi folks, very long time since my last posting here, hope it's everything fine with everyone of you!

I have a issue for you today. I'm implementing a ToolChain for a vertical lathe, in this situation I have the tool gripper attached to the W axis, that is a horizontal bar colinear with Z axis where I have 9 different possible positions. The Macro ToolChainMotion will put the selected pocket in position for change, this position is determinated by the first point of the first entity on the sweep profile for the chain path (actually the sweep profile defined in the first model inside the ToolChain component).

The gripper moves, but the chain mechanism stay in the same position as it is attached to the machine base.

But the problem is that everytime that I change the W position for each possible (within that 9 possibilities) I get a new Exchange Position that theorically cannot be moved, at least is what I guess once I found nothing about change this exchange position in the documentation.

Is that a way to change this position dinamically? Do you guys see any possibility to solve this issue?

Thank you in advance and with kindly regards from Brazil,
Eduardo

Best contact your local tech support guy with this so he can see some files.

Hi Tony, already did it some days ago, what I know so far is that they did send the problem to Irvine headquarters. In the meanwhile I'm looking forward to see if anybudy faced this issue already.

tks
