Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit.

Thanks for the link, but will switch to AC servos.

Yesterday I went to take a look at this Schaublin 125CNC, as it was only 60km from home.

Shame it didn't come up for sale earlier, as it appears in a similarly good mechanical condition as mine. Harry bought it with a partially complete Mach 3 / Stepper conversion, but was in the process of a Siemens Sinumerik conversion when life got in the way. Really nice guy, so if any of you are looking for a project, get it before some one else snaps it up.

Oh, the poor thing!

Yeah really. Some idiot had hacked the end of the Z ball screw off, where it mounts the overload clutch and pulley. Luckily Harry has the connections to weld the stump back on and got it precision gound back concentric.

Another little step forward on this project.

Another installment, of this trilogy in 56 parts...
