    Retrofit a Southbend Magnaturn 12x18

    Hi

    I have a Southbend Magnaturn I would like to retrofit. The machine uses hydraulic cylinders to drive the X and Z axis and uses scales for feedback.

    No rotary encoders or ball screws on this machine.

    Can this machined be retrofitted with a Cncajax control? If so what would a very rough guess be?

    Thank You

    Examples of Typical Lathe CNC Retrofit Packages:

    Hello.

    Examples of Typical Lathe Retrofit Packages:

    1. Lathe Retrofit using Existing Servo Motors

    Lathe Kit $ 2459
    Control Pendant $ 639
    (2) Servo Encoder $ 250
    (1) Spindle Encoder $ 125
    (3) Encoder Cable Prewire $ 177
    Cap & Bridge Combo $ 69
    Total $3719 + S&H

    the bad news is the Magnaturn is somewhat of an oddity and would require alot of mechanical work to covert it to typical ballscrew style CNC machine. If you had alot of time and could get the screws for cheap it might be worth it.. otherwise..sell it and find another lathe that would be a better candidate for a retrofit upgrade. good luck with your projects..

    Hi Keith

    I thought not having a ballscrew for a rotary encoder would be a problem.
    I have a link for a piston actuated ball screw. http://www.lsitvc.com/smartstroke.htm

    Would that work?

    Thank You
