My job has replaced two operational mills recently. They are still sitting in the back of the plant inside. They have been run 3 shifts 6.5 days a week. They are big. Not sure exactly what models but FLA draw is 105 and 125 amps respectively. 7000 series Fanuc controllers. They were taken out because they wouldn't hold tolerance anymore (our tolerances are a few tenths in many cases)
I don't know what they plan to do with them but they send machines off for scrap often. While the machine is huge and too big for a small shop or garage, would the controller/drives/motors etc be of any use for an old machine (of any brand) with a bad controller?
