We’ve had 4 cnc machines on our must have list for a while and finically found the last one.
It’s a large horizontal lathe.
Checks all the boxes:
-large, heavy, well made.
-purpose built for CNC
-undesirable by others, not working, for parts(only because of age or controller obsolescence)
-retrofitable
-a deal (seller needs it gone and logistics comes together easily)
so it was the Weiler e70 with a Siemens sunimeric 805 control. 1995
we will powder coat and repaint all the sheetmetal and casting
Prev owner couldn’t get the control to work so I bought it not working.
I can do a retrofit but I think I have a fair shot at repairing the 805 (right?)
Seems this control has more documentation out there and a longer run some other orphaned controls I’ve seen
