I just bought a used mill for 330 Euro and now the fun begins
I have planned to do a full EtherCAT Servo build, with the Bechhoff moduls or similar.
More will be posted soon when the unit is placed on the floor and cleaned. I have already stripped some of the guards, panels away to get more room for cleaning. Also the control unit and the "electrical cabinet" are removed.
Best regards and Happy New Year From Denmark.

Nice find and to damn cheap, you lucky b....
Good luck with the retrofit, there are several similar machine logs here in case you did not see them, but i think all use Mesa controllers with normal servo drives, normal as in not EtherCAT. Some use the old existing drives, IIRC
