That is pretty sweet, is the ladder very complex?
We are at the point on our Cincinnati Milacron of getting the tool
changer working, and this a carbon copy of how our machine works. I have
the changer arm working about 80%, but I am not real sure how to get the
carousel working into the mix.
I have a classicladder sim of a lathe turret tool changer that might
shed some light on the subject.

Hi Chris,
Congratulations! It looks good. I remember having to cover the table with thick
cardboard in case it dropped the tool (which it did) when we were just getting
into it. It's come a long way.
