CNC Lathe Control Kits  




 

This CNC retrofit kit includes the CNC electronics and CNC software you need to complete a CNC control installation. Typical applications are retrofits for old outdated CNC controls such as the Anilam Crusader, Allen Bradley and Fanuc controls on a wide range of lathes.

The Lathe kit includes programmable spindle speed control (“S” Function) and constant surface speed support. Constant surface speed means you simply set a chip load for a particular tool, and no matter what radius you're cutting at, the control automatically adjusts the spindle speed to compensate. The end result is superior surface finishes and extended tool life. In addition, the AjaxCNC lathe kit supports dual handwheel operation for part setup and manual machining.

Tool turrets, tail stocks, and other accessories can be controlled by programming the built in PLC.

You can even use this Lathe kit with your original servomotors and power supplies. If you don’t have servomotors, no problem! AjaxCNC stocks a wide range of CNC Components to complete any retrofit.




The Lathe Kit Includes:

· 2GB Solid State Hard Drive
· CNC10 Linux Control Software
· PCI Motion Control Card
· 3-Axis Digital Servo Drive
· Pre-Programmed PLC Inputs and Outputs
· Fiber Optic Cables for Noise Suppression
·

 

· Conversational Programming Software
· Spindle “S” Function
· Constant Surface Speed
· Dual Handwheel Support
· Installation and Operator's Manuals on CDROM
· Full Size Wiring Schematic

This retrofit package is ideal for a lathe with quality, DC servomotors. It allows you to reuse the standard components like contactors and fuses, but will save you hundreds of dollars by reusing the motors already on the machine. You’ll also save money by reusing the motor transformer, which is already perfectly matched to your motors. The new 2000 line encoders will dramatically improve the overall performance of your lathe. And the spindle encoder will allow you to perform tapping operations, and also allows you to utilize the constant surface speed feature for superior finishes and extra long tool life.

This package is well-suited for lathes with either stepper motors or damaged servos. You are still able to reuse the contactors, fuses, and other miscellaneous components, but you will replace the entire power supply and motors with brand new components. The included 2000 line encoders with every motor ensure improved performance and accuracy over you older setup. The spindle encoder allows you to take advantage of our constant surface speed option, which produces exceptional surface finishes and extended tool life.
