Looking for a good control soft

[GezaazY]

Hi everyone!


I am looking for new control software for an old machine. It is an old dental mill from DCS, the Precimill M4. The manufacturer has closed business and the software is most likely from the last century.

It is basically 3-axis machine with material flipper, automatic tool change and Alfred Jäger spindle (KS3-18-60).

I have some diagrams for the machine also, that I will try to upload later today.

What are my options? The soft doesn't have to be free, but there isn't much money in my budget also.

Mach 3 is $175 and seems to be highly configurable to individual needs. I do not have direct experience with this product.

I looked into Mach 3 some time ago, but for some reason I did not get too far with it. Can't remember why, though.

I finally found a working scanner so I have attached some schematics.

I would really appreciate if someone with Mach3 configuration experience would take a look and say if it is possible to control my machine with Mach3

Do you want to replace the motors as well?

No, the hardware will remain the same. Only a new computer to control the machine.
