General Mach Discussion / Elgamill cnc retrofit
« on: November 04, 2015, 08:29:16 AM »
Hi Guys
I am new here , I am a service engineer on CNC machinery for the past 20 yrs. I have not built a CNC just repaired them.
I am looking for some advise on a possible retrofit to an Elgamill like the machine here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khOYhfwI3Ds
this is a large old machine, tollerances do not need to be better than .5 mm Yes half a millimeter.
Would this size of machine be outside the parameters for Mach3/4 and if it would work how do i size the motors required
Thanks for reading and hopefully someone can help
Best regards
