HiCON Motion Controller / Use Hicon Integra to drive +/-10 VDC Servo Amplifiers

« on: April 06, 2016, 06:33:41 PM »

I would like to use the Hicon Integra to drive existing +/-10VDC servo amplifiers.   Does anyone know of a solution to take step/dir and convert to +/- 10 VDC?

I want to use the Hicon Integra now because  I plan to upgrade to AC servo motors in the future.

Thanks,
Jay

Steve, thank you for the update.  That is encouraging news.  I understand that nothing is in stone and yet just letting you know that there are people interested in having this complete.

I'm also very interested in the Galil pluggin for Mach4.  I've been patiently waiting and now I have a lathe and a mill that I need to retrofit.
I do hope it is available soon.

I was curious to know if there are any updates to this lathe conversion.
I'm very interested.

I thought it had a fanuc 6TA control but looking at the Z axis motor I don't think so, is it a Yasnac?
Spent the last 30 years working on Mori's and the like, no yasnacs up here in Canada. Have lots of info. Do you have drawings?
This is the Cadillac of machine tools.

Cadillac is right on !  This thing is one big hunk of old iron...its a beast at 5500 LBS. 

Yasnac is the servo types, I have a poor condition connection drawing of an SL3 Lathe and a good detailed connection / interface drawing for the Spindle Control.  I will post these once I scan them in.  If you have anything on the SL1 I would very much like to see it

 
Were you ever able to scan the connection drawing and spindle control scanned in? 
I am about to embark on an SL-3 retrofit and I would be very interested in these. 

 Please let me know. 
Thanks, Jay

Does anyone know where I can get the manuals/connection diagrams for the Z and X axis servo drives?  This is on a Mori Seiki SL-3 with Servopack CPCR-MR 052 GB and CPCR-MR 152 GC drives.  I am getting ready to do a retrofit to Mach3 with a Galil motion controller and a DL06 PLC.

Also if anyone knows where I can get the wiring schematics for this Lathe that would be a great help too.

Thanks
