My new to me cnc lathe arrived last Friday and had a good look at the wiring and appears most of the stuff runs on single phase except the spindle motor.
The spindle motor is 3 phase and run off a vfd , I'm sure some of these machines must be able to be rewired to run on single phase.
Right now I need to power it up in my single phase shop and wondering if a retrofit to single phase might be a good option.
The machine is wired for 460V 3 phase and there are 2 single phase transformers in the machine that feed the controller and servo drives.
From what I can tell if the vfd was replaced with a single phase vfd it might be doable .
Anyone ever done this or have some good advice on where to start machine is 6KW with a 4KW spindle motor drives and servo are Baldor
