Re: Toolchanger for Defiance.

Marcus,

Do you have anyone you can borrow some machine part lists (other
toolchangers, and logic diagrams for same) from?
Are you planning to use a geneva for indexing the tools?
Is it a bring the tool to the spindle, or the spindle to the tool?
Direct insert or intermediate arm?
Does the spindle already have provision for automatic holding of the
tool? If not, how do you intend to provide it? Saw the collet closer
mentioned below; is this what you intend to use?
Does the defiance spindle have "spindle orient" ? (often M19)

Since you mentioned the collet closer; Are you intending to
change 'tools' or 'toolholders' with previously inserted tooling?
