Just found a sweet deal on Ebay. $750 buy it now for a cnc millport retrofit. Just so happened that it was only a 3.5hr drive from my place so I couldn't pass it up. The machine is in great shape. The original drive was anilam but was blown. The guy stripped off the control prior and sold the parts on ebay. All ways are in great shape no scratches and the table barely has a nick. I thought the machine might have been "too good to be true" glad it was as described! I thought bringing the machine from NY back to Ontario Canada would have posed paper work issues but a quick call to Canada customs quickly assured me an easy move. They just gave me a tarrif number and the was no duties. Only had to pay the tax. Crossing the border these days is a heck of a lot different than the last time I crossed 7yrs ago. A million questions. 911 sure has changed things alot.
Does anyone here use the UHU servo controllers from http://bgmikro.com? On my Hurco retrofit I went with the larken drives which are Canadian but took a month to get. Price seems good and the specs look just as good. Just wondering if they are slow to ship too. Servos on the mill are SEM 140 vdc, 2500 rpm, 30 amp. Any other suggestions for drives that will be compatible would be appreciated.
