Tom,
I have never seen one of these machines before and their website doesn't give much away either but if the machine is operated by 'step and direction' signals generated by the PC then there is a good chance that it can be used with Mach without too much hassle.
If,on the other hand, the stepper motor pulses are generated by the machines internal controller then there may be quite a lot of work to do.
A photo of the machines internal electronics might help.
