Hey Andy my mill doesn't need any toolchanging movement once the z axis gets to the toolchange height. the toolchanger has a arm that drops down and swaps the tools, It is quite a new mill with a 24 tool side mount random position toolchanger.so all I need think about I think is the actual toolchanging.
It is sounding like I don't even need to use classic ladder. Does your component manage all the limit switches and stops and motors to rotate the tool etc?
