I was thinking of tearing apart an old Fanuc arcmate sr with RJ control - -or whatever available bot i can get my hands on- and using the components to re-cnc the wells index 823 mill i have
the mill left factory as a tape N/C deal, but at some point in its life was stripped of motors and control... leaving all motor mounts and ballscrews in place what hurdles would i encounter? would the components work for this sort of task? id like to run mach3 or emc2 into a breakout board then feed input to the robot control to run the motors while searching for motors and drives i came up with the idea of buying an industrial bot cheap and ravaging it for parts as the system would already be complete and just need reconfigured i ve contacted a number of fanuc etc robot service places but they freak out on the fone when i tell them what im interested in doing can anyone help me? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
