Hurco Bridgeport Series 1 Retrofit

Didn't really want it, too many projects

Went and looked at it

It had already been converted from original controls to  PDMX board, Geck 340 drivers, and turbocnc.   Olde windows 95 laptop still runs it.   

No circuit diagram, yikes

Machine ran off 3 phase input

Installed a MESA board moving one wire at a time

I read the warning that the head has to be supported when rotating back up to vertical.  

I didn't do that too well

I broke the worm shaft, had to remove the head and then replace worm shaft, worm gear and head gear.


How do you embed pics in the message and not as an attachment.   I tried google drive link which works but there is no preview
