Re-fitting a mill

[gunner312]

I just bought an older Prolight 1000 Desktop CNC mill. Unfortunately the contol has been taken for repairs to another machine. So I have bought the following:

3 Kelig 425 oz-in steppers. (I already fitted them to the frame axis)
3 Gecko 203V drivers.
and a CNC4PC C11G breakout board.

I have a computer and etc, to use with it.

I have a power supply (54V 7.2A power supply).

I think the DC spindle motor control is fried too. (Cant get current to go through it) (Minarik PCM2100A) a new one is available from the Manufacturer if so. Not a real problem.

The spindle motor is pretty much toasted so I will have to replace it or have this one re-wound.

I've replaced the spindle bearings on the quill.

I need help in getting this turkey (in it's present condition) wired up and running.

I'm a pretty good machinist if I say so myself but not a very good electrician.

Help would be appreciated. I am in Washington state near Bremerton.

Thanx.

Jim,

If I recall correctly, Dan Mauch lives near Seattle. You might contact him through his website http://www.camtronics-cnc.com
Dan builds controller units using Geckos.

I think you can find a schematic for wiring the Geckos either on the Geckodrive website or on the Gecko yahoo group.

Sometimes you can pick up Minarik controls through the "SurplusCenter". http://www.surpluscenter.com/
