I have an early Hardinge CHNC that's been coverted to a Fagor 8025 TG control with new servo motors on the X&Z. I've been able to modify the 3 phase 230v input current and run the machine on my 120v single phase off grid system.
I'm planning to use 8 position Omni-turn gang tool blocks with it.
The Turret has been gutted pretty good as who ever did the Fagor, made it to work in a fixed position with no turret indexing.
Does anyone know how to make this turret manually indexable? I pulled one of the covers and found one of the clippard valves gone, and the airline cut.
I think I may just unbolt the turret and swap it around 180 drgs when needed. If I drilled and tapped 2 more mounting holes I could get the other 2 positions. A pain I know, but at least I could get more mounting options.
It would be nice to be able to wire up a switch box and get to lift to where I could turn it, then have it drop back in place.
