Zenford Zeigler Retrofit

On the electronics side the first thing to check are the voltage regulators and capacitors, beyond that it is a forest covered in dense fog at night with no moon, with no shoes on!

Hi Mark

I havnt changed out any capacitors yet. I was happy when none of them gave me an unexpected fireworks show when i first gave them power. I will change them out before i go much further.

Its nice and wet here at the moment Tommy.... and dark. haha

I can live with having 3 drives only, but really, out of 9... Surely the electronics gods can smile upon me and show me a little love.

We will see......................

Cheers guys

Matt

Hey Snoozer,
3 drives is pretty good and at least you'll be able to get the machine moving. Could I trouble you for some more pics of the wiring diagrams of the limit switches, spindle gear change, and tool changer. If you scanned the wiring diagrams and the hyperloop manual I would send you some beer money.
Cheers
Marcel.

Will have to work out how to scan the drawings. They are big. I woukdnt mind a elecrronuc copy myself. I will see what i can do. Hopefully your not in to much of a hurry.

Don't worry if it too much hassle, would you be able to tell me the command pins for the hyperloop +/- 10v ?.
Gone with a clear earth approach to the old wiring.
Got anymore progress on your machine ?

Sorry, been flat out. Havnt had a chance to do much lately. The command pins are pins 2 and 12 in the first pic of the spindle wiring diagram.
