I don’t think so? Whatcha see?

The screen/front is removable but won’t need to be unless replacing the lcd or a button. The rear hinges down and gives full access from the rear. There are standoff panels on the bottom and fold down. Planning on mounting the DYN4’s high on the side. Looks like it will go together alright. Thinking I’ll do two runs of flex between the panels to keep the AC away from control stuff.

It looked like components on the bottom with no access from the top in one of your pictures...only from the sides?

The first servo motor mount is coming along. What I started with 3x3x3.5:

Close to fitting correctly. Need to a some adjustments.

Finally finished a few adjustments on the servo mount. All went together nicely. I’m new to this cnc machining. Overall, quite happy with it. Bonus is, it will do the job! On to the next.

It’s always a challenge fitting and mounting all of the components, especially when using the existing enclosures. Came up with a second tier on the HMI rear door. This is where the original electronics were. Turned out well. Everything is secure and the terminals and I/O status LED’s on the lower board are still accessible and visible. Lower layer is gigabit Ethernet switch and 1616 Ethernet I/O expansion. Upper layer is Acorn control board and 8 output interposing relay board.

Lathe control panel. I’m happy with how these turn out. Lots of bang for the buck.
