Has anyone added a programmable boring head like the D'Andrea TA-Center to one of their Mazak VMCs?
I don't understand all the details involved with getting the NC unit to control the U-Axis. We have older mills running 640M and 640M Nexus.
Just curious if anyone here could provide some insight.

Years ago we wanted to add a D'Andrea head to our Mazak H-400. Mazak said the only way to make it work reliable would be with if it was added at the factory at time of build. Maybe things have changed, but any serious retrofit like this could be probelmatical.
