I have just bought a suregrave machine, think it was from a school originally, I am not very keen on the old software that came with it think it is for a Windows 95 machine, but the frame and the motors seem ripe for conversion.
The motors are hy200 2226 0470 acm8 think I read someplace they are 8lead motors there are 3 of them one on the x,y and z axis. The table itself is well built looks and feels like cast. Its the DSC2000 that I'm not keen on because its old and to much about it I do not know.
I have ordered for my conversion:
2.2kw air spindle with er20 collets
2.2kw VFD
Chinese mach3 compatible controller board
3x TB6600 0.2-5a stepper drivers
110-220v ACDC 600W switching PSU
and a mach3 pendant again from china.
will I have to replace the hy200 2226 0470 acm8 motors on the cnc frame, or will they do the job? or should I just go ahead and replace them with nema23 4.2A 3Nm 425oz/in motors. I also didn't realise the spindle was so heavy when I ordered it and was wondering if a bigger motor would be better on the z axis.
also looking for a project box to house all the electronics make it look neater and ideas on what I should get.
hope someone can help, many thanks PaulLast edited by DiGi5670; 10-08-2017 at 06:01 PM.
