Having banged my head against another forum member's ATC (Matron!) for a goodly while, I'd suggest that you'll want to research exactly the control/state-machine/timing required by the ATC and have a considered plan for how you want to go about this. Particularly, if the control system for the ATC is provided by the KT510 (probable), replacing with a generic motion controller is unlikely to offer an out-the-box solution.
Having said that - I know nothing of the ATC on that Lathe.

Hi Doddy, yes I appreciate it will not offer an OTTB solution as well as giving me issues as I would have to pause code on one controller while I rotate the tool with a Mach3 solution. I really do not want to go down this route but SIEG have suggested a new KT510 will be $1100 plus VAT, duty and shipping which is money I cannot spend at the moment.
Yes, the KT510 is control system and I would have to resolve timings, etc. Again, not a route I want to go down but may not have a choice if I want a working lathe.
