Hello
i am bidding on an upgrade for a bridgeport torq cut mill and am planning to use the csmio controller i have done several machines with this controller and have been very happy with it. now the base operation and wiring or rewiring i have a handle on and minor programing i do ok however i am worried about the tool changer. i have programmed a tool changer on a bostomatic successfully. the bostomatic tool changer i set up as an axis and wrote the code accordingly. my problem is the torq cut tool changer doesn't work as an axis it rotates by a cog and keeps track of where it is by a proximity sw i don't know how to program this type of system to rotate and keep track of where it is. this counts like an encoder but i am not sure how to translate that. so i am of two minds on the issue one is to program until i figure it out or two hire a programmer to write the tool changer program for me and warranty there work. to sum up i am asking for advise toward either of these options
thank you mark cook
