Denford Triac VMC with ATC Conversion / Fix

[Chaz]

any update on your build did you finish the atc conversion?

Hi,

Yes, its fully working with Mach3. Id like to redo some of the wiring but its working as needed. Ive since installed an AC Servo spindle as the DC motor wasnt working well.

Any details on the servo conversion?

I've currently got mine in bits, and am currently working on the finer details of how the servo is going to fit.

Ye, Ill share some stuff when I get home. I had to do a fair bit of test fitting due to the constraints of the physical space. I am using a 1.5KW Panasonic servo.

So you have upgraded the spindle to a Panasonic one? How does it work with atc?

I'm gagging to upgrade my spindle, I've got money just no options

Yep. It works well. I dont use my ATC often but functionally it works. I can do some improvements to it for fine tuning but the machine is now running at minimum as good as it would have when new.

Where are you based? You are welcome to come look at the bits.

So spindle speed? How have you got it to work?

What kind of setup?

The triac has a slightly different atc seti
Up the. Most with its spindle and powered draw bar

I'm in Essex?

Direct motor replacement, 4400 rpm due to slight change in gearing.
