Denford Triac VMC with ATC Conversion / Fix

[Chaz]

Excellent buy Chaz.!!

If you can fix the PC/OS then it would be worth either replacing the Transformers or buying 415V converter and keeping original.

If you replace the Controller for Mach3 system then you will need analog controller as the servos are analog not Step & direction. Also if using the IP-A then you'll need to check the Servo's have differential encoders on them and Not single ended type. If so you'll have to replace them if possible or get some sort of line converter setup.!

Change transformer for drives etc and Small 0.75Kw VFD will sort the collant pump.

That wiring diagram is going to be priceless but you've still got plenty of head scratching coming your way. Lol

Thanks, lots to do still. I need to take a good look on the weekend and see what I can understand. I want to get ordering and fixing but need to be careful not to piss away money.

How difficult to tell what encoders are on the servos? Would I see something from the wiring or drive or do I have to see the actual motor?

So if I do retrofit, the ideal controller here is the CS Labs IP-S ? Will this drive using the existing drives or do you think they will need to be replaced? Same question for the motors.

Thanks all!

NO you need the IP-A because the servos are Analog servos and won't accept Step & Dir signals.

You will be able to re-use motors and drives. The motor manual should tell you type of encoders.! But Single ended will have 5 wires. Differential will have 8 or more wires.
