Hello, I'm new to this and gradually getting my head around the workings. However there is a couple of things in which I could do with a little advice on. I have a abb 6620 robot and a expert positioner/turntable. The positioner only has 4 positions on it, it has dwell on which stops at every 90 degrees, so I am trying to work out the best way to set up the cell with the 4 positions on the turntable so it can call these positions when it needs to turn the workpiece to mill out the other sides. I will be running 3 different tool heads on the machine, an atc spindle which will correspond to a static 8 tool bank. A ceramic extruder and a plastic extruder. I will manually change the tool head on the robot when I want to change the process i.e milling, ceramic or plastic. I have drawn the turntable out and assigned it to one rotary axis with 2 full turns but struggling to work out how to give it its 4 positions. Am I right in thinking that for the tool rack with the 8 tools in I will teach this in the robot and then assign targets with the different tools. I'm super excited to get going with the robot and robodk. Liam
