Upgrading a Terco 4500 mill - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Hi.

I have a Terco 4500 mill. The elektronic is old and I am going to replace it to make it modern. How do I step forward to a great result. I am planing to use the existing engine on the axis and spindel and I want to ad an axis so that I get total 4 axis. The mill has tool exchanger and this I also am planing to keep.

Are there anyone with some good advise here and maybe someone who have done this with a Terco 4500 mill?

Hi Anders

I have the same situation here ,an old terco 4500 which i would like to upgrade
I think emc2 looks like the best bet . i think will try this ,and then try and expand the project and fit with A and B axis to make it a 5 axis machine . Have you gotten any futher with your machine ? maybe we could compare notes .
