Add tool setting probe to Milltronics Centurion 7 knee mill - possible?

Is it possible (relatively easy) to add a tool setting probe (like a Renishaw TS27R) to a machine with a Milltronics Centurion 7 SLS control?

We just purchased a 2006 Milltronics VKM3 CNC knee mill that's in excellent shape and would like to add probing capability to it. We bought the mill to make fixtures, prototype, and in-house parts. This will probably require a lot of tool offset setting updating (every time the knee is moved).

We have a spare TS27R from a prior machine that's in like new condition. We also currently have a Haas VMC with the WIPS probing system and are a little spoiled now.

Anyway, does anyone here have experience with adding a tool-setting probe (or inspection probe) to an older Milltronics Centurion 7 control?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

I have a renishaw MP4 tool probe on my '93 partner 1 with a centurion 5 control. I don't know how much changed over the years, but I could at least take some pictures of the setup and send the probing macros to see if it's of any help.

npolanosky,

Setup details, pics and macros would be awesome! I sent you a PM.
