John, I'll be uploading some pictures and video with pleasure. This machine is a Mazak lathe that we should have retrofitted to LCNC a year ago, but because of lack of time and a lof of work we had to postpone. The lathe itself is working fine (we only replaced the spindle drive and monitor) but since it's old we don't want to experiment the failure of some critical component. Also with LinuxCNC we can improve the functionality of the machine.
I've already finished adapting the new servo motors and pulleys to the machine. Also I finished the new monitor case (I'll upload photos of all of this). The only thing left to do is to mount everything on the machine and then identify and connect all the cables to the MESA boards. Fortunately, we don't have to re wire too much. Only servo motors, a VGA and the 7i73 on the main panel. I'm already making the components I need for the turret and some other stuff. But more or less that's the story. Only thing left is to wait for the 7i52 and test everything out of the machine before we switch to LinuxCNC.
