brown and sharpe microval power supply pinout
Hey folks. Although this is an old thread, yet it still provides a lot of valuable information to others, so thanks for all the inputs. I’ve purchased a B&S microval recently for a good price. it came without a computer, and probe. I’m in a process of re-hosing the machine. all the old spaghetti-like hoses just flaked out of the machine when I opened it. I think I’ll need to remove the air bearings too, cause getting to those lines is a nightmare without doing so. The plan is that I’ll mark each bolt and nut with ink, to make sure they go back to their corresponding places and number of turns.
I got a computer yesterday – thanks to finding a great guy on a forum like this. all the cable terminals fit as they should. It did not come with a power supply though. it’s a B&S180-22-6 model, and it clearly says on the back sticker that use only 80-405-312 power supply with it. it’s 5V and 12V power supply. I scanned eBay and google could not find any. I think I could use a standard PC power supply, but I would need a pinout for that. the socket is a 5 pin old school stereo (DIN) port. I searched on the hexagon site, with no avail. If someone has this PS can you please measure the voltages on the pins. If you have a pinout diagram and can share it I would really appreciate it.
Lastly. I don’t have a probe for it. I’ve looked and the microval machines were equipped with Renishaw TP1S, MIP, PH9A, TP1 and TP-ES probes. Not sure what the difference between these are. eBay has them for $100-$2500 – obviously my budget is limited, if someone has a good probe for sale that fits this machine please send me a pm.
thank you!
