    Bridgeport Interact 412 tool changer pneumatic air cylinder replacement ?

    Hi,

    I need to replace the pneumatic air cylinder on one of my tool changers because it does not slow down at the end of the stroke.
    I have tried many times to adjust it with no luck. so i was wondering if anyone has had to replace one of these ?

    Or if some one has one i would be interested.

    Thank You !!

    I just got a 412 v. It doesn't seem like there is many people offering help on these mills.

    Actually I shouldn't say that. I got a lot of great info from people about moving the mill!

    But with my other questions: Nobody seems to know where I can get a service manual

    And nobody seems to know what size pullstud to use!

    Keep looking for the manuals on ebay plus i know there is a website that sells digital copies.
    You want a bt40 pull stud with a 45 degree head.
    I have had 2 of these machines for over 25 years they are good machines but finding parts
    is getting difficult

    Ok thank you! I ordered from Lathes.co.uk advertises the manuals. But he can't find the one with the Heidenhain 355 control, just the 2500.

    And they have one for 412x, FANUC, which seems to be totquite different

    He asked if I want one of them instead. But i don't know if either one with be useful?

    The Heidenhain TNC 151 , 355, 360 and 2500 controls the programming is pretty much the same .

    Ok good, I'll have them send the manual for the Interact 412 with the 2500 control.

    And I'll keep looking for the version with the 355 control, in case there's some important differences

    By the way, could you maybe do me a favor, and measure the length of the toolholder retention knobs, if you get a chance?

    I can share what I have. I just got one of these, I'll be looking for help from you guys soon enough! Sorry the Bridgeport manual is upside down, that's how I got it. I printed it out and reshuffled it.
