Title: Benchman VMC 4000
Post by: crozjota on July 12, 2013, 12:56:45 PM
Hi to all on this extremely hot summers day here in South Wales. anyroad up, Ive just bought a Benchman VMC 4000 with a 4 position tool changer for £200 and althought it came with shed loads of bits (cutters, toolholders e.t.c.) there is only a programing manual and to get it out of the factory where it was being used to mill and drill plastic components, they stripped out the z axis encoder and tool change air cylinder so what I am looking for is a parts/maintenance manual. does anyone have one they could scan or sell to me? BTW it looks a well made little machine with DC servos and it is windows pc driven. I am not sure if the company that made these is still in existence, does anyone know? I may convert to Mach 3 or by the time I get around to fixing it, Mach 4!
Stay safe every one & have a great weekend.
