might be easier to clean up the machine /paint and sell.Then buy a
hardinge with a dead controll and refit.You have alot of work ahead to fit ballscrews and some way to spin the turret.

no trouble on the ac motor,just drilled some new holes in the base.
I used electromechanical starters for all the 3 phase motors,like what where there originally.I have a rpc for the ac motors.The...

I have a Dewalt for my impact driver.

How is the refit?I used a 7. hp ac motor and frequal vfd.Seems to work fine.

On the bob are 4 relays.1 for the charge pump /estop, 1 for coolant or what ever and 2 you can setup for the spindle.
It is all very clear in the Campbell manual.Any way long and short.
If you go...

If you are not using the combo board then an option would be to
mount a pot on the control panel and manually adjust the speed.
Not a big deal as you may also need a start /stop switch for the...

on the bob there is a 0-10 volt signal for the vfd.Use
2 relays on the bob to turn vfd on or on and rev.It is explained very well
in the Bob campbell manual.You will have to do some tuning on the...

a couple of questions.Do you need this machine to make chips
to pay the rent?If yes factor in the time ,it is never as easy as
it sounds.How much electrical knowledge do you have?
There is alot...

might be an idea to also put varistors across the servo
transformer output.If you used the original transformer
1 on each phase.

If you have the campbell bob, and you have the little axis indicator
board you can see it all working without connecting the motors or
even the drives.With amch loaded and the campbell xml...

Ok I'll start looking at the dust shoe.It has one now

the trick maybe the back side when the machine does a tool change.I...

The machine has a dust shoe.It also has a 5 hp spindle
and cuts along at about 500ipm.

What is the "best" way to catch the dust generated while cutting.
We have a 7 1/5 hp dust system but how to stop dust from flying
out of the cutting area.Any thoughts may help.

I also have the spindle brake enable when I hit the estop.
I turn off power to the drives and spindle but leave the
bob on .I have the estop on the bob working.

here are some pics of what it is turning into.
I will have to search for some pics of the original
machine.Looked like a pile of crap.Cuts as advertised.
I used a freqrol drive for the spindle and...

I used heidenhain encoders .I also connected them to the
9 pin connector that connects to the Viper .Then tested
with 24 vdc on the motor to get it spinning and oscilliscope
to test the...

Not really a cheap way to go.I'm chopping them out of 4340

For all the signal wires I use 22 Ga. ie small.Don't use solid wire. Multi strand
is what you should use.Remember to tag the ends with numbers or letters .This will make it easy to trace down the...

You do not need the tach wires.Only the encoder wires.
As far as computers go , buy a good motherboard,cpu combo off ebay.
I do not have a cdrom on the machine only a small hard drive.I would use a...
