Maho MH 300 C Retrofit...?

Newkye is the company name. That controller is known as 990MDb-3.
There are others of the same genre but of other brands, some are copies of Fanuc. (same language, same kind of functionalities)

So far the problem I had was the communication of the new controller with the existing drives, I did not know that this is possible through this 7i77 ...
What I will do next in my free time will be to study if I am capable of such a job. I know that, and other similar ones that I mentioned have the indications of how to connect, there is already PLC, ... and there are some more complete ones that already include included potentiometer of the advance, spindle potentiometer, handwheel, and other more connections. ..

My Maho has 4 box passages, and variable spindle motor rotation. that controller brings with it analog signal for this and the respective passages of the box. M41 to M44 (S1 to S4)
I'll study and see how far I can go, and if I can do it ...

From your name (José Fernandes) I suspect that you are Portuguese.
If you are currently located in Portugal I can show you a CNC milling machine that we use for production or a CNC lathe, both running LinuxCNC.

Hi
Glad to see you are still here on the Linux CNC forum .
I am interested in what scales your MH300C machine has. Are they Philips or are they Heidenhain scales ?
I am also interested in what servo drives and what spindle drive your machine has.

Do you have a parts manual and the electrical schematics for your MH300C ?

Would it be possible to get photos of your MH300C showing ---- inside the electrical cabinet --- the servo and the spindle drives ----the Z axis scale label / manufacture label and also the transmission shifting motors located on the side of the Z axis ?
My reason for those photos is they can show a lot of information very quickly and exactly what is what.

Any chance you could make a You-Tube video ?

I believe it works well, I have no doubt of it. My current doubts are based on whether I can do this retrofiting. From what I realized until now the retrofiting using MESA 7i77 and linux is a task that goes beyond my capabilities.

-The scales are Philips photoelectric of 11μamp.
-Drives TRK2 ... (...) and TRK6 ... I think that's the name. The drive of the X, Y and Z axes is a single block.
-Yeah, I have all the manuals.
-In my case the Z Axis is changed with the Y. I have Y horizontal and Z vertical.
-Yes, when I have some time I can take some photos. At this moment the time I have is little, my priority is to put Schaublin to work. Today I was asked again if I had any of the machines to work, I have work to do and I am refusing to have the means to do it ...

You can see here a video of Maho opening an M42 thread with an iron that I made myself.
