We've got an omniturn gangtool lathe.The machine runs great and is very accurate.The one thing I cant stand is the control-it's dos-based and has no macros and very limited cycles.I've been looking at different software and camsoft looks to be the best fit.My question is this: Is it possible and if so how difficult would it be to keep all the same motors,connections, etc. and just replace the omniturn control(monitor,computer,keyboard, and operator panel) with a camsoft package? Are there components that would have to be replaced because of different connector types etc?CNC control/machine interface I know next to nothing about-Please tell me as much as you can.
Thanks
