Hello Everyone,
I have decided, after much deliberation, to convert my busted-assed MH600E from the original Maho control to run under Mach3. I suspect that while this is easy to proclaim, in fact it will likely take the kind of effort needed to win gold at the olympics... hence the title.
The previous owner had done some tinkering and without the proper schematics, repairing it seems impossible. I am going to try to salvage everything possible, as I think the Indramat motors and drives are still in good shape.
I plan to start removing the old Maho electronics this weekend and once that's done, I will prepare it for the new interface. The Kanalog system from Dynomotion looks like a good candidate to connect the Indramat 3TRM2, Loher spindle motor, hydraulics, etc. to a modern era computer. Does anyone have any experience with the Kanalog... good or bad?
Thank you,
David.
