Dear Hugo,

Great how you converted an Emco lathe with an Acorn control.
I also have an Emco Turn 55 machine, and I also want to equip it with an Acorn control.
My question is:
Is it possible to get your electrical schematic? I don't really see where all the cables and encoders go. You took good pictures, but I would like to know how the cables are connected.
Would you like to help me with this?
Thanks in advance for the effort.
Best regards,

Hello CNC Keith,

Thanks for your replay. The link for the video's are very useful but I'm looking for how to connect the encoder from Emco itself.
I'm trying to upload a photo of the Encoder, but it's not possible. It's the same one Hugo has in his Emco.

Hope you can help me out with this.

Regards,

Rinus
