  1. Re: I cant seem to find a suitable AC servo drive!

    DMM Tech has a new 3kw Servo drive out, and they have a converter that converts an...
  2. Re: Replacing old Fanuc AC Spindle Drive with Delta VFD-E and Arduino

    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...
  3. Re: Replacing old Fanuc AC Spindle Drive with Delta VFD-E and Arduino

    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...

    Warner Swasey WSC-6 Fanuc 0t

    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....
  9. Re: Bridgeport Series ii Boss Possible new machine build.

    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...
  10. Bridgeport Series ii Boss Possible new machine build.

    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...

    Re: Centroid Won't See Limit Switch

    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...

    Re: CNC Retrofit

    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.
