Automatic clamping

I have a BP Boss 5 with the original controls, only a programming manual sorry I couldn't help with the maintenance questions. I need to profile some parts which require moving clamps several times. Does anyone know of a way to interface with external devices, such as to use some automatic clamps? If not, I'm considering mounting some optical sensors on one side of the fixture and driving the tool over there to activate the switch, anybody ever done this before? Thanks for any suggestions.
