Hello I am planning to convert a 1983 Hitachi-Seki HC-500 horizontal machining center from a fanuc control to a more modern pc based control and I was thinking that I might use mach3 software.This aplication will recuire the pc and software to control multiple axis's and functions such as tool changes and pallet changes this will be a very interesting project:wave:
