Upgrading a Lathe with M4


 

Hi People,

Currently have a Wabeco lathe currently equipped with NCCAD software and the Wabeco ¡°in house¡° hardware for X, Z, the tool changer and infinitely variable speed control 0 ¡« 6000 rpm.
I understand that a lot of these machines have been converted in the US and other places to use a G540 Geckodrive and Mach software.

Would like to do the same, I have been at this bag of bones for nearly a year on and off and still have not got on top of it. Keep remembering the set of the mill. Took a week to convert it and two days to master the concepts and Mach 3.
Any hints at all on what to do and or how to do it would be most gratefully received. I have the G540 (2 weeks old) and a lot of other fruit to add but am still looking for tips please.

All and every hint most welcome.
