Looks a sturdy machine. As far as I know these are re-badged Leadwell machines. Correct me if i'm wrong!

Looks like a hefty spindle motor.

If it belongs to Mark I saw it on Ebay way back before he bought it  Think it's a TC10 if I remember like this one

Check the slides on the X axis..they don't make them like that anymore.

That's a shame hood I have spare motors and drives for these. They are very well built as well. The Fanuc versions still had the Siemens back ends on. It's possible to buy a Fanuc 6t front end off eBay and get a set of parameters and a set of eproms if they are missing . If it's the machine I'm thinking of it was in great condition.  John

Keep the beaver wither the controller it has on will work great for all the turning functions including threading and css. Presume it's on Fanuc6T a great control one  of the best Fanuc ever made or is it Siemens?

Just looked at the Mits manual for J2S series. It says the single  230v is only available for the 70 drive or smaller..

I'm retroing a Denford Triac with the old steppers on. It's in new condition so though it would make a good single phase project and a good way to get my head round the Mitsubishi drives and motors.

Will check your galil machine out

Yep just checked again, no  UK sigle phase! So for the 2KW motor I would have to find a 400v drive to run 3 phase and no way I can run single phase without a converter.

Yes it's an S encoder. Has the blue S sticker on the back. Noticed the Mits MR-J2S-350A 3.5KW will accept single or 3 phase.

Ok thanks. All there seems to be on the unit is rows of terminals and one connector for the Galil 100 pin cable from the motion card.
There are labels XYZ and W but no power conectors for motors.

Quick question on the Galil ICM. I have a ICM1900/amp, is this the older version of the ICM2900 or something different?

Not sure what the "amp" refers too.

Thanks, John

Thanks Nosmoking that might work. Was  worried about disturbing the encoder but if it's keyed that would be good.

I was thinking the break would be fine if it disabled on power up but as it's just a holding break I thought it might be damaged if I had to hit power stop at the full 3000rpm!

Plus putting tools in might be a problem or if I needed to rotate the spindle to check inserts.

Sounds doable though.
