Alex, you found out more in less time and from part of the info I had :) I see there are external Heidenhain EXE, which can stay there, unless I would replace servo drives to something like stmbl. I haven't noticed linear scales yet, maybe next time I will look for them.
I was assured I will get wiring schematic. I hope I will be able to throw out some of those I/O's. I know this will be a massive number of them to use anyway. Those on the bottom.. might be brake resistors, didn't check. It is in decision state now: to do or not to do a retrofit :) > Hi Marius. > What is good to see is that you have about the complete documentation > needed. > I do believe that if you will find the electrical cabinet wiring schematic > you should be able to do this massive job. > This machine is equipped with quite a big PLC with many I/O (so automatic > tool changer and many other auxiliary devices). > I see also the brake resistors for the axis and/or the spindle drive in the > bottom cabinet isn't it? > This type of CNC (that you will replace) should be a single channel (single > process) architecture so LCNC is a good candidate for the replacement. > Do you have linear scales to close the position loop on the linear axis? > If yes maybe are Heidenhein branded. > I see that the actual CNC have the servo card module with integrated EXE > that is suited for the linear scales.
