Hello all I have recently purchased a Leadwell vmc 760ap mill that has a mitsubishi meldas 520amr control, it was one of those purchases that say it was all in working order when removed from work site but turns into a nightmare to get running. after speaking to some professionals in the repair industry they have said that my best bet is to go the Linuxcnc or mach3 route. I am not sure why but i am not keen on the mach3 way  and have been told I might be able to use linuxcnc with a PCI board (posable from yurtaev.com ) and get away with not needing to buy new drivers and servos/stepper motors etc.

I was really hoping for some help and advice on what is involved for me to do this and what i will need to buy to make it happen
the machine has the following

Spindle drive unit  MDS-A-SP-220
3 x MDS-A-SVJ-20
Control system FCA520AMR
the main spindle is 15hp and other motors are 2hp

I can add some photos if that helps anyone more
any advice or help would be fantastic and very well received

many thanks

There are positive reports about the Yurtaev interface cards on this forum, and the creator himself is on this forum as "dm17ry"

The yurtaev.com web site isn't responding to me right now (22/5/23) but I am behind a few layers of firewall so it might be that.

hi! yes, a few similar machines have been retrofitted. those servos/spindle are fully supported.

the website is hosted somewhere in uk, seems to be down currently:

www.yurtaev.com (104.161.79.162)
Access to this virtual server has been restricted. The node is currently under maintenance. Please try again later
