Hello all, I have recently purchased a Matsuura MC - 500V VMC, used from a lady whose husband passed away. I have not picked up the machine yet and it is an hour away. My shop only has single phase power and I dont know if my machine is single phase or three phase. Does anyone have an old Matsuura 500V that can tell me if it is single or three phase, and what I might need to convert the phase if it is in fact needed? Thanks.

I would expect it to be the same as the ones sold in the UK. So the same as mine. Mine is a V2. Glancing at the pdf's for the electrical stuff it doesn't look that easy.

All the motors are 200V [or therabouts] 3 Ø.

The spindle inverter needs all three phases.
The servo power supply needs all three phases.
The servo drives have all three phases connected to them.
The lubrication pump is 3Ø.

I have all the manuals. I did photograph the wiring digrams for someone.
I put the pics ONLINE. I have all the Yaskawa pdf's, but they are fairly easy to find if you stick the part numbers into google.
I am refitting mine. I guess you will be able to use a rotary phase converter.

Who are you using to get the parts to refit your machine? And are you changing your spindle speed? What does that require if so?

I have removed all the electronics and will[probably] be using granite drives, a pc and a modern vfd. At the moment I am not worrying about the toolchanger.
