Dear forum members,
this is my first post here, so a quick note about myself: I'm working as a software engineer and my hobby is building cars. I'm beefing up my shop with some equipment in order to be able to build most of the parts I need. My most recent purchase is a 1984 Monarch 10EE. I just got the machine and have a lot of question marks in my head -- still trying to get all the info together to understand the details and differences about and between those machines.
The first thing I encounter is: how to hook it up? I bought it through a tool broker and they can't tell me if it was running on 240V or 480V (3 phase) before. I have 240V in my shop, so ideally would like to run it on that voltage. I've studied a lot of forum posts but didn't really find some instructions for machines from that area. I've read about "WiaD" and "module drive" and "dc motor"; I guess that I have a dc motor (at least that's what I read out of a badge on the machine).
So let me summarize my question as follows: can someone tell me how to find out whether the lathe is setup for 240V or 480V? Please find some pictures attached. Happy to add more if that's helpful. Any help is greatly appreciated. Any useful resources are also appreciated of course. Thanks a lot!
