Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Well Happy Days here thanks to Marc (CNCSNW) for doing the PLC to make the turret servo work on my CHNC lathe. This is going to be a great upgrade to the machine. It is quiet and as smooth as silk! Throughout all of the testing it has landed and locked down perfectly every time. I might have gotten ...

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Well one more hurdle crossed today. I am not much of a tig welder especially on cast aluminum, but I have a couple pretty good grinders and I think the end result will serve the purpose well. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KL88FycMxDj5WmwWA IMG_0604.jpeg IMG_0606.jpeg IMG_0611.jpeg IMG_0616.jpeg IMG_0618...

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Exciting stuff happening here, at least if you are me. I have some motion on the CHNC tool turret. Not quite a tool change I am just verifying my turns per inch using MDI, but it is smooth and quiet.

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Finished wiring the new drive today. Also removed the existing CHNC turret encoder and got the drive and servo tuned using Leadshines Motion Studio software.

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Another pretty good day of progress. The air motor that is no longer an air motor is back in place and the new servo is coupled to it. The turret raises and lowers like it should and all of the stop cushion components have been removed. I am amazed at how little force it takes to rotate the turret o...

Re: Hardinge CHNC II+ Hickory LeadShine EL7 Retrofit
Well I have been gone for a few weeks, but I am back to work today on the CHNC air motor to servo tool turret conversion. As I said earlier I decided to use the original air motor as a platform to connect the turret to my servo motor. I ended up having to make a whole new shaft and decided to make a...

Re: Setting Up Allin1DC on an older 2axis Prototrak Mill
If you are dead set on having a GFI receptacle, they make a VFD grade. Try a Legrand 2097TRAPLW. It will probably work for you if the noise is causing your trips.
