Its just not a priority at this time, so its on the back burner for now

Sorry guys....  not much to update on.

This project is for sale.   Everything in the build is included minus the X Y Z Servo Systems.      The PC with Mach installed, the display control cabinet, the fully functional ATC and controls, coolent system, spindle motor and drive and of course the 12000lb machine.   Like I said everything in the build minus the servo systems.   The servos have been pulled and are in use in a different machine.   

Please make me an offer.   

Thanks
JH

Hi JH
I just bought a fadal and am going to convert it. I read through your build and saw you are using 750W AC servos. Ever wised you had gone with bigger ones. Great job on the two builds.

The 750W with a 2 to 1 gear ratio on the pulleys is more power than you will need.   I have snapped solid 1/2 carbide end mills off with them

Also, what paint did you decide to go with something coolant/oil resistant? Is that metal your painting on or plastic?

We just use an oil based paint from ACE HARDWARE.   Surface preparation is key with any paint.   Just roll it on and it fans out nice.   Holds up well to the coolant on the outside.

I had an old wise man tell me once "if your paint your machines a light color, you will clean them more and notice issues before they become problems"

FAST Forward....  the second BP412 is fully functional.   New AC Servos, New glass windows and seals, paint and logos too.    The control panel is not complete so we are running it from the LCD screen and Keyboard as of now.

Below is the latest picture of it while cutting parts.   Also is a picture of the first BP412 we did, still running too.

Enjoy

We finally have the breaker box mounted to the machine to get power to it.  I needed to paint that section first before it was mounted and that lead to more work...  Since we didn’t need the rear control panel/box it was removed.  Then the cable tray needed modifications, and a new sheet metal panel was fabricated to block off where the rear control panel originally was located.

Pics of the before and after.

General Mach Discussion / Industrial PC for Mach3

I am looking for an Industrial PC to run Mach on, something more solid than a standard PC.

Any Ideas?   

Thanks
