Hello everybody, I hope you're all doing well! Sorry for the OT but I think this is a good place to ask for what I intend to do.
One of our lathes has this Fanuc OT-C with this a16b-1212-0950 power supply which is now failing. I can only use the lathe a couple of hours before the control stops working and the PSU lights its alarm led. The main problem is, these PSU are pretty expensive when purchased new, and the ones refurbished take almost three weeks to arrive in my country. So, one of my ideas to keep the lathe running before I completely retrofit it to LCNC is to install generic switching PSUs to match the voltages and fool the CNC and it's control signals (which I don't know if they are too complicated to fool but apparently there are only a couple of pins on the PSU for that purpose, so It shouldn't be that complicated). Is this nonsense? should I even bother? Because the next step really is to adapt the machine to LCNC and forget about all these problems once and for all. But if I can manage to fool the control this could be done in a couple of hours. Thanks as always for your help guys!
