Hey all! Long time lurker / reader, first time poster.
I bought a Vintage Hardinge DV59 from someone who rescued what he could, from his Grandfather's abandoned machine shop. It had sat for years, and even had a squirrel nest in it.
I paid next to nothing for it, and he even gave me turrets, Tool Holders, about 60 collets, A couple compounds, a cross slide, Drip system, and a couple chucks. It's for all intents and purposes in pretty good shape for it's age. I'm looking forward to restoring it to it's original Glory.
Here's My question...
I build Lasers, and CNC machines, and I'm good with electrical work. However, I've never owned a single thing that ran on anything above 220V 3 phase.
This unit shows that it runs on 480, according to the side placard.
I've read in several posts, and was told By the guy I bought it from that it will run on 220V.
I can find nothing to verify this claim.
I'm going to post a few Photos, which should provide some insight into what I have, and I'd love your feedback on what My options are. I have a 90 AMp Phase perfect putting out 3 PH 220V. I also have a transformer putting out 380 3 phase.
Looking at the placards, do you think I can run it on 220V 3 PH?
If not, I do have a 2HP 220V 3 PH motor I could swap out If it's work.
This machine is pretty "analog"... I'm a digital type. I'm not very "up to speed" on these old machines. Does anyone care to take a stab at what I'd need to do to use this in My under powered shop?
Thanks so Much!!!!!
