Thread: Referencing emco 120

Hello, I'm trying to get an emco 120 going. I've got rid of most the alarms except alarm 400? I think reference position not active. Is there a procedure to home these machines?

Did you work out how to do this? If not I'll try to explain.

I want to replace the motor on my 120P that I just got. Does anyone have the specs on the motor?? I have been told that a 3 to 5 HP 230V 3PH motor with an IEC 100 frame will work? Is it a 100S or a 100L frame? What does the end of the shpft look like. Does anyone have a picture of the motor plate handy. Any ideas where to find a motor reasonably??

Second problem is the turret--- I am missing the part that fits in the slots to hold the tools-- any source for these pieces? If I can find a diagram, I could machine them but would rather just find some. Also, is there a source for bushings for the 16 mm hole tool holders or do I need to make these also??

Thanks for the help.

You'll want to sign up for the Yahoo Emco group. I have an ABB IEC100L frame size for mine. I spent less than $200 on ebay for a new motor. The shaft matches and there is nothing to do but mount it. No idea where to buy tool clamps, I'm going to make them. Bushings also will be made. You could always try Emco directly. Check your machine for tool sizes. My Compact 6 was set up for inch size tools, 1/2" square and 5/8 bushings.
