The 0 Controller is a very capable controller. Unless the controller is beyond reasonable repair, I wouldn't retrofit it.
That being said, find the model number of the fanuc drive and look for the...
I don't think there are any converters that will work with a fanuc encoder. Assuming you're is the same as mine. My encoder isn't a differential encoder. It has a A\•A, B\•B signal. A is a 500mVPP at...

Have you come up with a solution for converting the encoder from a Sincos signal to a Quadrature signal? I've done some work on building a circuit. But my problem is coming down to...
Well good luck, I'm not confident enough to replace surface mounted components.
Ok, been doing more on this, the Measure function is Para# 0015 Bit 4=0. This turned on the tool measure function.
Now after playing with the controller. The workshift will not activate.
Example:...
Alright, I did some digging on this today, Calling whomever I could. Turns out this is a Parameter Option. Quick google-fu and I was able to find out which parameter and settings to change. Now I...
Hello everyone, Two weeks ago I purchased a Warner Swasey WSC-6, I believe the machine is a 1988. This machine has a Fanuc 0t, and I think it's a model A. It doesn't have the buttons on the screen....
Thanks for the replies guys, both are good looking machines. islaww, your retrofit looks very well done.
Sadly, those machines look nothing like the one I'm looking at. Even the table/saddle are...
So I'm looking at an old Bridgeport Series ii Boss5/6 (unsure which one) that was offered to me for about $1000, could probably talk them down lower.
For me a bed mill is much more desirable, but I...
It sounds like that Input is burnt up. Nothing you can do short of sending it back to Centroid for a replacement.
Now, I have alittle experience with Centroid. But if the Y+ input is bad, change...
Ever solve this problem? I recently bought the exact same machine up here in Washington. The only electrical problem I had was a contactor in the servo drive that wouldn't stick, I cycled it about 10...
I can get the machine for $800, with a 7.5hp Hitachi VFD a J300. the Hitachi VFD is worth about 400, and I believe it can be ran off single phase.
The Y axis servo is off the machine, so I felt...
If your Romi Lathe has Brushed DC servo's you can do a Centroid Kit for cheap. The DC All-In-One board can run 3 Brushed DC servo's up to 15 amps. The boards costs $2300. You can do the whole build...
Ok, here are pictures.
Hurco M1 - Album on Imgur
The machine doesn't look heavily used, or beat up, its just dirty.
I plan on going to go see it again this weekend and make up my mind on it....
So, I have the opportunity to buy what I believe is a 1978 Hurco M1 Bed mill. I will be purchasing just the iron plus motors to do a Centroid retrofit on it. My question is, do you guys think this...
Is the Controller not working? the Anilam 1200T doesn't seem that old. My only experience with retrofitting is Centroid. Which i'm perfectly happy with. I feel its your best Bang for the buck.
After some work, here is a couple videos of what has been done.

When it's complete I'll do a write up...
Did you end up getting this mill?
Controller Died, won't power on, checked every fuse, The SALM led was most likely the Spindle Drive, but the controller died before I could look into it. 95% chance I'm gonna Retrofit this thing to a...
Well, did some more digging today, with what very little I have. I found out that the Ready light needs to come on before anything can be done to the controller/machine, Jogging, entering parameters...
Greetings everyone, First time posting here. A couple weeks ago I bought a Pratt and Whitney Turnmate with a Fanuc 5t Controller, it came with Manuals and a BTR board. Well turns out the manuals I...
