W.E.T. [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport Torq-Cut 22 Question

Hi Tom and All:
Does you controller have a way to control a 4 or 5 axis? You
could but the hyd. control handles for the clamps in line and run
them with a screw and nut by the extra axis control motor. Just
thinking about this as this would eliminate the need for the operator
if you run lights out.

We have the subject machine at work. I'm wondering if any group
members are familiar with the machine and could answer a question or
two?

I'm looking at a potential set-up which will require the opening and
closing of several sets of holding clamps. I'd like to do this with
M codes that will open and close the hydraulic clamps on command.

I'd also like to provide for both a programmable time delay, another
M code, and some sort of feedback signal to insure the clamps have
cleared before the program can continue its cutting.

Thanks...


Tom
