Diy ATC With the Tormach control
I know ATC has been discussed before, but I im scoping out the possibilities of DIY ATC. I am sure there are legitimate reasons for the $4200 price tag, but If you just consider the cost of materials, It can't be that high ( around a $1000). I mean it pretty much looks like Igus Drylin slides, an air cylinder, a stepper motor, and a fairly simple mechanism. Controlling it would be the most complicated part to me but now that Tormach has control for ATC, it seems like it could be a fairly easy thing to do considering you have a CNC mill to machine all the parts. Any thoughts?
