Having no 3-phase, I had to rewire things so I'm operating on single phase 220v. As I mentioned, the motor came up OK through a solid state phase converter - 7.5hp motor, cat40 taper. For a thousand bucks, the old piece of iron looked promising. Am now working on bringing up the servos. The breaker to the servo power supply is popping when I press the power-on on the pendant. Of course there is no computer controller to power on (could be the source of the problem or some real issue with the power supply which is somewhat hard to get at to take off from the big blue box and seriously look at and test. Can't seem to find Dyna computer controller so am thinking of going with a Centroid All-in-one or Acorn - depending if I decide to or have to change out the servo's. Any and all input is welcome...
Those machines look pretty much like mine. Looks like a 4V size machine from the pictures I found. What servos does that machine have? If you need a hand, I'm local.
