Heid Lathe Purchase. Need Some Help With Electricals
Ive just got my hands on a Heid Lathe, Shes a big brute with a 4 jaw the size of your average car wheel.
Im looking forward to getting her plugged in, but before I hitch her up to our 3 phase supply I have to wire her up.
Basicaly the lathe itself is pretty simple. It has a big mains cable going into the headstock, which is obviously for the motor. Then seperately from that is a thinner armoured cable going to the saddle.
Now i got with this lathe a big steel case which housed all the electrical contactors and power supplies etc. But before I just go connecting my mains wires and evetually ending the world I think i owe it to everyone to understand what everything is and its purpose. So can anyone take a look at the pics and closeups of whats in the box and explain what this stuff is and its purpose within this system..
