I am converting an Anilam lathe to Mach3. The lathe has a six position tool changer made by Baruffaldi. The tool changer is driven by an old Mitsubishi PLC and integrated into the Anilam control. I would like to up date the PLC to a DirectPLC DO-6. The changer uses a 3 phase motor, encoder, lock, and position sensor to move it into position. Has anyone integrated this type of changer into Mach? Any advice or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.
