So, managed to fall off a ladder has put a damper on the progress of getting the machine back home.

I did manage remove the parts from it before the accident.

I had managed to remove the servo drive, the sinumerik controller and the pneumatics and cylinders.

The servo was connected to a 50VAC supply and switched on.
The reason for this was to recharge the caps. If they have been unpowered for a long time, then it is best to reform the caps applying lower power for a while before putting full voltage onto them

I let it stand like that for about an hour.

I then connected servo drive to the transformer and applied the 165VAC so that the DC voltage on the capacitors was about 288VDC.  All the leds came on and the fans hummed away happily.

The sinumerik was also switched but the HT coil on the screen is making buzzing noises, so that is dead.
The leds also come on too.

The pneumatics is another story.
The valves are faulty as the rubber seals have perished, so I will be buying a solenoid set to replace the original set.

I might get to the machine next week to take off the panels and have them all painted.

So, after a long rest getting the feet sorted I managed to get some more work done on the machine.

Removed some of the covers and had them shot blast. Painted them with base coat tonight.

Also removed the tool changer and cleaned it all up.

Replaced the bottom lip seal on the spindle.

So all looking clean and neat.

Some of the parts after being shot blast and painted.

Hope to get the rest of the machine here end of May

Looking good, cant wait to see your progress

What lip seal is that you are talking about?

Hood

Morning Hood,
On the spindle tool changer there is a lip seal that keeps the spindle clean.

It fits onto the end of the tool changer sleeve. The sleeve moves up and down on the spindle, on the bottom there is a seal. This cleans the chips and coolant off the spindle assembly when a tool is changed.

It was cheap, maybe 2 pounds.

On page 13 of the mechanical manual.
AS 100-110-7-10

It is the seal on the bottom of the tool changer case

Ah ok, thanks for that, it was just when you said a lip seal I was wondering as I think that is a wiper seal.
