Seems like this is the only video i could find online showing its use. I believe it is the same model.

Emcotronic T1 cnc lathe "Emcotronic T1 cnc lathe, it ran when we purchased it and we havnt even plugged it in since purchased. Comes with both manuals, and tapes/books. Planned on converting it to mach 3."
He's Asking $3500
Anyone know anything about Emco's? I found a few on ebay that are all selling for a decent price.
Sounds like a good deal. the owner said he bought it from a local technical school and didn't have a 3 phase converter to run it.
I could get a 3 phase converter and roll the dice on it working, or convert it to mach 3 and forget the 3 phase. He said it is roughly 4'x4' in dimension and almost 3500 pounds with a ballpark 14"x8" work area. More pictures were requested.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I don't know were the tool changer came from, it' does not look like a Emco part, $3500 way to much
half would be about right for one in that condition

To convert something like this to mach 3 be a huge pain in the ass?
I will have to see it in person.

Easier to do than a mill, you only have 2 axes & spindle, you don't have to do the tool changer, they had a gang tool holder plate for them as well
The tool changer in the video is the one I know as being correct, the tool changer in the photos, I have not seen that on one of these machines before, But I do know they had 2 tool changers for the 140 machine, that may be the other one thay had, it sure does not look right

The exposed belt just doesnt look correct...
It looks stock to me just looks like its missing the cover that used to be over the belt. I think it was a black over on this machine.
I would suspect the only reason for three phase would be the spindle? It looks like it may be a Siemens motor?
The servo's could be DC 1/2 wave SCR 3ph but if they are 1ph drives it should be easy to convert the spindle only.
Seems to be in very good condition with little wear that can be seen.
The tool changer would need minimum logic, a small outboard PLC would take care of it if necessary.

The spindle motor ia a Baumuller 400V DC 15A 5.5 KW 6,600RPM, on these machines they have 5phase steppers

There were not to many with that toolchanger, most have the tool changer that the machine in the Video has

The machine in the video is my lathe.
All original but I dont have the tailstock.
I paid $1800 for mine.
