Some of the first steps are outlined here.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check out the mechanics<\/span><\/li>\n
      \n
    1. Z Axis<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. X axis<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Spindle<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. Turret<\/li>\n
    5. Collet Closer<\/li>\n
    6. Barfeeder<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    7. Do some calculations and design the motor mounts<\/li>\n
        \n
      1. Remove the old motors and feedback devices<\/li>\n
          \n
        1. Feedback devices are all removed.<\/li>\n
        2. X motor needs extracted<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        3. Take measurements<\/li>\n
        4. Do some calculations to pick a good pulley ratio<\/li>\n
            \n
          1. Existing ratios are 4:1<\/li>\n
          2. We probably can’t easily get 4:1, but we also don’t need that high of a ratio.<\/li>\n
              \n
            1. Go for 3:1 by replacing motor pulleys (OD’s are too small for us to salvage them)<\/li>\n
            2. Any ratio close to 3:1 will be fine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
            3. Make the required parts to adapt the motors to the lathe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            4. Clean out the old wiring<\/li>\n
                \n
              1. All of the servo\/motor\/tach\/feedback wiring can go.<\/li>\n
              2. Need to trace out and salvage home and overtravel switches.<\/li>\n
              3. Trace out all digital I\/O sensors and actuators, adapt them to 24v I\/O as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              4. Figure out the spindle drive\/motor – salvage what still works, if anything.<\/li>\n
                  \n
                1. If the drive works, or seems like it is fixable, fix it.<\/li>\n
                2. If the drive can’t be salvaged, attempt to salvage the motor.<\/li>\n
                    \n
                  1. The motor works. \u00a0Jeff hooked a battery to it and it runs fine.<\/li>\n
                  2. Find a modern drive suitable to drive the existing motor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
                  3. Servo drives have been removed, along with the power supply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
