Emco c5 changer and the Orac

Post by Skaaprib » Tue 06 May , 2014 20:23 pm

Hi Guys
Does anybody know if the Emco c5 changer will work with the Orac? I am only talking about the size and mechanics really as I will do the retrofit with Mesa cards. The other thing, is it easy to do the changer with Linux?

Thanks much

mechanically it will be fine, but if your looking at the one on ebay beware as there's some odd bidding going on with that one.

The Emco 5 6tool toolchanger is 30mm to round tool centre from the base and will therefore fit to the Orac or any lathe with >=30mm centre height from cross slide.
