Standard-modern 1700 series retrofit

Vfd is in for the tool changer and tool changer is rotating forward and reverse. I think having speed control over the TC will help with ensuring its clamped , this TC runs something similiar to a Geneva mechanism.

the first rotation of the shaft inside unlocks it then rotates the turrett then relocks the clamp all in a couple seconds It starts and stops quick pulling very little amperage.

Please cover those drives with something.

I have a plastic sheet that gets taped on the back panel and runs to the floor during any drilling or installing but you right I probably should have them covered with something other than whatever junk I'm using at the time

You are striping and wiring wires above them, those have lots of holes, a single very small piece of wire falling down can mess something up.
Cover them.
That is not a request, it is an order!

Had some time to make a bit of progress on the pendant. 

  downsizing the portion that held the CRT. 

  got the front panel from laser and bent up the tray.

  The pc motherboard on the new swinging access door , still have to extend the wiring for the power supply.

  where I left off for the night , just had the monitor running off my phone for a test , managed to lose a nut from one of my rotary switches.
