Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Bridgeport Series II CNC Retrofit "shopping list"

« on: November 22, 2016, 02:20:55 AM »

Hello Gents,

I have recently acquired a BP Series II Interact II CNC with a V2XT controller that is kaput. As such, I would like to retrofit to modern components, ultimately resulting in a mach 4 based control and a VFD for the spindle motor so that I may run single phase power to it. I would like to retain the original servos since they are in good condition. I have posted data plates for the pertinent info on the mill. If anyone could help me form a shopping list of components that would result in a reliable system I would be most appreciative as well as a good VFD.

Thanks!

General Mach Discussion / Help Me Retrofit My CNC Mill

« on: November 17, 2016, 07:44:51 AM »

Hey guys,

I just came into a BP Series II Interact II with a V2XT Control. Odd, I know. Anyway the control has had it and I am looking to retrofit the mill using the existing servo motors with Mach 4 (or 3). If anyone could direct me to a parts list or similar to do a complete retrofit I would be most grateful. Mostly everyone that I have seen bases their builds off of gecko drives but my motors are too big for them i believe. They are 26 IB/IN 4000 rpm max motors, 112 V and 65 A Maximums as well. I know this complicates things a bit but id rather not have to spend $$$$ on new servos when the ones i have are in good shape. Pictures to follow.
