Modernization (known as a retrofit) of a lathe previously controlled mechanically and via contactors, used for machining trapezoidal spindles, with a full-featured NC control system.
The advantages of this design over the previous version are as follows:
- flexible processing options
- Saving recurring programs to NC memory
- Easy data transfer via USB
Components:
- Sinumerik 802D sl (Siemens)
- ADI4 – Analog Drive Interface (Siemens)
- Servo Motors and Controllers (Stöber)
