I have a Shasuka (sp?) vertical mill with an old Summit-Bandit controller.
Needless to say, it is costing me a fortune to keep it working! This
particular
mill has servo motors and resolver position sensors. The Servo board is
working
OK, but something else is messed up
Check out
They make a Bandit retrofit controller. They also have a Shizouka retrofit
listed for sale on their web site.
I'm not sure of the cost, but if all they have to do is install the new
control & tune it, you may get by inexpensively. They don't list prices on
the web site, if you call them let us know how they are. I have a
Bridgeport here with a Bandit & two extra control boxes for spare parts & I
have to decide soon if I want to make it work as is, or upgrade the
controller. I'm not convinced yet that the EMC is the way to go, & I know
that there are a couple of DOS options that will be easier for me to setup &
maintain. Also I would like to use the motors & resolvers in place, just
have electrical hookup & software tuning to get this machine into usable
condition.
Then there's that 8 inch rotary indexer sitting over in the corner......
