Chopper or Tommy (or others) thx for the great thread it's been super helpful and confirmed that should purchase a mill I was looking at to do a retrofit on.
My machine has the same name but looks slightly different.

I've tried to modernise and simplify where I could and within $$ constraints, I updated the axis motors (to AC) and drivers and I'm controlling it via mesa cards. The motion is all up and working, I need to get the accessories going (SSR just arrived for that), then tackle the tool changer. But I'm looking for some advice on updating the spindle VFD.

I was wondering if either of you have changed out the Yaskawa spindle driver, or spoken to anyone that has or have any advice?

Not yet, a few days back went to fix that machine again, they lost some stuff etc, so i did order a new cheap chinese one, 15KW for 400 Euro, so i considered it a calculated risk.
Have not heard anything from the owner of that machine as i ordered everything through him, he is in Austria.
The original still works, with the same issue of failing sometimes with F600.

Thx for the quick response, yeah a calculated risk is kinda what I was thinking...
Keep me posted on how it goes. I'll let you know if I find out anything else in the meantime. Oh did they want a spare servopack for it

Hitachi WJ200 is what I went with. Some set up issues because there are so many settings/variables.
