Has anyone successfully got a tool changer running with Kflop/Snapamp combo on a mill or lathe or retrofit a mill or lathe with a tool changer?
What would be needed? PLC?

Thanks in advance

Marty

Hi Marty,

Here is a video of a tool changer. This was implemented under Mach3 using a VB Macro.

An alternate approach is to use a KFlop C Program to do the Tool Change.

An external PLC is not required.
