Dear Friends

I Have an "old school" Matsuura CNC Mill which has crashed somehow,no image on screen no functions also.I discovered Centroid CNC from a friend that answered on a post of mine asking for help on "How can i Retrofit this Machine" so it can first of all work and work with a more modern way.I would appreciate your help on this topic.What products of Centroid do you think that could drive my machine? And what is the cost of a project like that?

Well it sounds like a great project. would be great if you could make a online photo album and populate it with all kinds of photos of the machine tool....as the old saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words... and I'm sure we would all jump In and give you all kinds of great advice once we see some good photos of the machine the motor mounts the electrical cabinet etc etc. Post a bunch of photos up to Google photos and post a link here on this thread to get things going!

Anthony, as Keith suggeted, please create a Google Album or post pictures here of the machine, the control cabinet, axis motor tags,
pictures of the servo amplifiers and the model number tags, the spindle drive etc. With that information it will help point you in the right direction with suggestions.
