I recently bought a milling machine Thiel Duplex 155 Mainly because I was curious how it was compared to the Duplex 159 the TH140 and TH150
I thought to share a few things
It has a seperate DC motor for the feeds and rapids and a typical transparent cover over the gearbox
It turned out that the drive for that motor was connected completly wrong and even the electrical diagram is of no or little help if you have 2 different ones with the same number anyhow But with the help of my electronic goeroe it got solved
It has a seperate oilpump with its own motor A bit loud BTW Acc. the dokumentation there was a option to have the Z-axe balanced with hydraulics using that oilpump Mine does not have that
It has only powerfeeds and rapids on the X and Z
XYZ is 350-200-350mm ,18 to 2500 RPM ant it has a quill with NT40
Overall it is a nice machine Perhaps this was their budget machine
At the looks of it perhaps the predecessor of the TH140/150
Not as nice though
What do you guys think of it
