Bernardo Profi 550 Lathe

[resuengineering]

I've been busy for a while with my bench lathe to convert it to cnc.
and now it's time to share it on cnczone.

The machine is from 2006, i bought it new.

What to change?

- Toolholder
- Converting to leadscrews
- VFD on main spindle
- Mach3 Interface
- PLC Connection
- Steppers or servo motors.

First of all some pictures.

The machine for the idea...(allready some bits taken off


Disasembled the current tool holder


The new Multifix toolholder idea


Manufactured a Spacer block from Steel 37 material, with pins


Mounted spacer aligned on the X and Z side for drilling in the tapered pins


Mounted holder for measuring some clamping parts.


Very soon a update...
Allready replaced the Z-axis leadscrew... later on some pictures.

feel free to let me know what you think about it....
