Hello everyone.
I just started my first CNC conversion project on a Optimill MH25V.
Straight out of the box and directly to disassembly.
I will try to upload images as the project progresses. Please comment, as I am very receptive for suggestions and constructive criticism.
A little about the machine:
BT30 spindle, 0-4000 rev/min belt drive and inverter.
Quick tool shift (manual) with allen key,
Spindle head has a massive counterweight.
The rest can be seen on one of the pictures
I have so far decided to use the following components:
Nema 34 8Nm closed loop with associated drivers
2005 ballscrew on all axes with direct drive 1:1.
Still need to figure out the following:
Should I supply the drivers with AC24~70V or DC30~100V
Which controller (breakoutboard) should I use? Must be calculated for 5 axis and for Mach 4.
Looking forward to hearing your opinions..
