We own a pair of Tsugami Mercury lathe from 1980 control is a Fanuc 6TB

Both use a DC spindle drive
and a model 6 Dc spindle motor

I would want to retrofit only the spindle drive and the motor.

I think that a VFD and a AC motor could be perfect for this.

I just dont know if the control will have the needed signal comming from a VFD.

I wonder if somebody on this list have done something similar.


Thanks
