HI, I am in the US,
i have a seldom used pcmill50 in good condition, fully working, with control PC loaded with EMCO CAD CAM (WINCAM), & win NC (G code alternative Fanuc programming)
the wincam...

thankyou for your input, i purchased a 30Vac ring core to replace the 35vac ring core. i could have took some windings off but i chose to sell on the old one intact.

hello all, i have a problem with an old system for a lathe.
its a simple 2 axis lathe with nema 23 motors and a vfd spindle drive.

the power supply for the mains is 240v in.
i used a ring core...

i think you'll find the original ballscrews are 8 x 2.5pitch. that may help.

These machines are rock solid Castings, you wont be dissapointed with the cuts. I took mine out of storage after 3 years fired up no issues yet. I am still running the original Software (wincam)...

basic unmodified specs as follows , (have edited into first page also)

working area
X:190 Y:90 Z:190
Table load: 10kg
Table dimensions: 420 x 125

you mean 'finely honed' i'm sure, :p:

damn your good , 36 characters and and qualified , now where else could i read that. Gee i love this place, i'll be back tommorow for some more cutting edge technique. :)

"the way we used to do it in the old place was... rant rant...." .

what i class as a toolmaker is someone that can make a hardened metal tool, be it with cnc, manual, or with his hands, from blank...

hello all,
i have a question i need help with,
i am using a 3 axis vmc machine with a manufacturer specific cam program that runs it to engrave some text, the oem cam program accepts true type...

machines should come ready fitted with an interlock switch (simple cam roller/plunger) fitted to the headstock, lift the chuck gaurd up and it kills the power etc, or rather the chuck wont spin with...

hello there, lucky to have two nice machines like that with the recent controls, and the turn 55 with inverter drive built in (thumbs up!) havent seen many of the turn 50's either!. The old pc5 and...

whats type is the spindle motor? , not heard of vmc100 conversion yet but i know of two pcmill50's converted, one a close buddy. you can use an inverter for the spindle controlled via its analgue...

^ so tell me do you use coolant yet?, you could start by reading up on the 'red hardness value' of various cutting materials, this would be an informative place to start, joking aside, Theory is a...

i'll take it on board, thanks. i think i see that 24 volts is 5 times and greater less likely to trip with some small noise issues that may crop up, but first i need to learn the other issues i...

why the 24v for control as opposed to using 5v for limits and similar?, ttl is allready good at 5v?

cheers al, i will discuss this tomorrow at work with a buddy, reference the grounding.

hey al, i did not get the chance to choose a 240v system, i happened to come across the 110v drive for peanuts which is why i've taken this road. The din rail terminals at the bottom is just a rack...

here you go, i hope it explains my hopeless ramblings. by the sounds of your post i've placed the filter in the right spot, when it arrives. i'll have to move it all around a bit i have fuses to...

if i put a filter on the primary side will it not keep all the noise in the cabinet as you mentioned before? i think it would be better keeping it in between servo. it is almost un-avoidable for me...

i do understand a little but i want the solution to be a simple affair, no ntc's or extra relays if possible. i think i need to read up some more for now, or just stick with plain simple fuses!, 2...

Gar, yesterday I had far less clue what I was talking about than you, which is why i asked, today I also, am only slightly clearer, thank-you for the help!, its just what the doc ordered.

Thanks,...

hello all, im piecing together a cabinet for an nc controlled spindle, i need some help with choosing the right MCB's for internal transformers.

The supply voltage I will be using is 110VAC....

could also save on change over times by using two posts

bingo, thats what i was searching for, although my cross slide /toolpost wont travel that far to hold the toolholders (50mm max).. i'll check it for sure. i'll need two toolpost for that and an...
