Hey guys,
I've been searching all over to try to find a replacement low voltage power supply for my VF2. The model in the machine right now is a Fortron/Source SPI-200G. I found one place so far that sells it $210 (vs $570 from Haas) and it's in the US. I've found a couple of different companies that sell SPI-250G models (200 and 250 are the output watts) from other manufacturers which are also less expensive. Does anyone know if using a different model would hurt anything. One technical help person I spoke with said there should be no problem with it but I don't want to screw anything up by trying to save a few dollars. Would a generic computer power supply work? There are some 300W models for $30-40 with what look like the same connectors, the only difference is the amperage outputs.
Does anyone here understand all this electronic mumbo jumbo?
