Re: Repair / Retrofit of Milling/Machining Center TRUMP B8AC

It looks like I found the problem! The fiber cable radius was too steep. I manage to bring the big black tube on the top of the rectangular tubing. 20230910_175513.jpg I was able to pull the fiber cable (especially the DATA one) and make some loose to bring them closer to the connector with larger r...

Re: Repair / Retrofit of Milling/Machining Center TRUMP B8AC

It looks like the fiber modules TX/RX in the Centroid console and electrical panel seems to be Agilent/HP, Versatile Link series (HFBR-2524 and HFBR-1524) 20230908_124056.jpg 20230908_124119.jpg 20230908_125232.jpg From what I've read those fiber cable are called POF (plastic optical fiber).

Hello everyone, I am helping my friend regarding his milling he acquired, details below. He knows the machine wasn't working when he bought it but because of the condition and since it was Centroid, he was willing to take the risk even if it involves doing a complete retrofit conversion.
