Re:Hardinge CHNC 1 Lathe

Here is my version:
www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/

It was a pretty easy conversion, and now-a-days one can even reuse the resolvers. I believe Pico and Mesa have resolver adapters.

John greetings,

We have a hardinge like yours, we have only the spindle motor. there are no servo motors, servomotors driver or VFD spindle.

spindle motor is 5Hp, the first query that I have is whether I can adapt some VFD for this type of spindle.

besides that servomotors and drivers do you recommend for this machine,

there are no manuals of any kind.

From now appreciate any help you can give me, I have the reference at the time of the spindle motor. but I read in the forum that these machines come with the same spindle motor.

thanks,

Viloria
