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
