    30 hp Rotary Phase Converter

    I have an American Rotary ADX 30 phase converter for sale, a 220 to 600V auto transformer and all switches, shutoffs, splitters and cables to put the whole system together from panel to machine. I am looking for $4000 CDN for the complete package. I am located in Goderich Ontario.

    Contacts for Contactor

    Thanks all. The only thing my internet searches yielded were knock-offs from China. At $36 each I just ordered two.

    Contacts for Contactor

    I have a contactor in my lathe that has seen better days. I’m wondering if anyone knows of a source for the contacts in these? It is a GMC-22 contactor that was made by LG. It looks like they are no longer manufactured but I did find a Chinese made replacement on Amazon but since I have it apart...

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    I’m actually about 30 minutes south of there. Are you going to Bruce Nuke? If you do go to Tiverton, give me some advance notice and lunch is on me. With beer.

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    no704; You are todays recipient of the “Worlds Smartest Person” award. I would not have thought of the generated leg causing a problem but I flipped the phases around and it is perfect now. I owe you a beer or two at least. The upside of all this is that I got a lathe given to me which works...

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    I got the lathe free because it “stopped working” yet everything seems to be working just fine. It is running off a RPC and I never thought about the generated leg. I will try switching to other phase combinations to see if it resolves the problem. It all works just fine when I energize the...

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    You may be right, they probably are contactors. All voltages read correct. The more I think about it, the more I think the inrush current of the motor is causing a voltage drop in the transformer. I can’t think of anything else that explains why the motor will start when the contactor is...

    Manual lathe Relay Problem

    I have a manual lathe that runs on 600 volt 3 phase. The spindle motor is controlled by two relays (forward and reverse) that have 110 volt control coils in them. I have checked the high and control voltages in the machine and they are correct. If I activate the relays manually, the spindle...

    Fagor NV 20 DRO on Lathe

    Thanks gents. I actually did RTFM and it gives a poor explanation of tool offsets as they apply to mill use but nothing about lathe tool offsets. The manual I downloaded is not particularly well written. I may consider an upgrade. Glenn

    Fagor NV 20 DRO on Lathe

    I have a lathe with a Fagor NV 20 DRO on it. Any DRO I have used on a lathe has been capable of storing offsets for tools but I cannot seem to find an offset function on this one. Is anyone familiar with this model? Thanks, Glenn

    Quick change swiss tooling?

    We always dropped our stick tools onto a piece of bar stock of a known diameter so I did not see a real advantage to a quick change holder. On some you also lost some rigidity because you gave up some of the stick length to add the stop.

    Fanuc OT G84 Problem

    It turns out it was parameter 0031.2, this parameter dictates either m03, m04 code or m03, m05, m04 code when spindle direction change command is issued. Thanks for input gents. Glenn

    Fanuc OT G84 Problem

    I am working with a 1994 Yang ML 25 lathe with Fanuc OT control. When I use a G84 tap cycle, the tool reaches the correct Z depth and stops feeding but the spindle fails to reverse and initiate the tap retraction. I assume (maybe incorrectly) that I don’t have a parameter set correctly. Any...

    1994 Fanuc OT Canned Cycles

    I’m working for a fellow that has a Yang lathe with an OT control on it. For whatever reason, it was purchased without the canned cycles or Custom Macro B options. Does anyone know what the 900 series parameters may be for these options and more importantly, is there a chance of giving the...

    220 V 1Ph to 600 V 3Ph Help Needed

    After getting advice from members here, I decided to upgrade the service to my garage to 125 amps. But there’s always a catch! When digging out the original feeder cable, I found it buried at 12” or less with no proper conduit protection from the 24” depth into the house or garage. Ok, no...
