Push Pull Feeder Setup

[Robert Bullock]

I have been having trouble setting up a Push/Pull Feeder and could use some help in figuring out what I am doing wrong.

My machine setup is pretty conventional, the actuator arm is mounted to the same Z slide as the Nozzle.

I have set up the actuator as described in the wiki.

I have set up the PPF motion using the 5 captured locations.

The locations are as follows:

1) Actuator arm positioned over the lever, High Z      Pulling

2) Z axis lowered to engage lever with actuator.        Pulling

3) Push actuator                                                               Pulling

4) Pull actuator                                                                 Pushing

5) Raise actuator to High Z                                            Pushing

This sort of works, however it raises the actuator to high-Z after lowering it and then lowers it again before beginning the Pull motion. I thought it might have been going to the safe Z before moving but lowering that made things worse.

I am running the latest release of 2.0 of a few days ago.

Best send a screen-shot of your settings, and the machine.xml.
