I acquired a Harig 612 automatic a while back at auction. It was outfitted with two axis DRO (Sony Magnescale) and specialized vacuum fixturing held down on a permanent mag chuck. This was a couple of years ago. I'm just now getting around to trying to get it operational, now that I've found a spot for it in the shop.
This machine was bought online, no chance to inspect, and I opened up the power cabinet today and saw a Dayton AC inverter (VFD?) mounted inside. I think this was a user retrofit, but I'd like to know if anyone has any observations about that. I don't see any mention of that in the (skimpy) manual. This machine was apparently used at some point in a healthcare hardware manufacturing setting (division of Siemens according to some notes with documentation).
I have not yet tried to ferret out what the VFD may be talking to, but I did apply power, and nothing happened, so there will be some sleuthing needed.
