Great part finish! Good to see someone showing off close up detail on parts....you wont find any china cnc mill conversion showing you detail that close up :)
Nice machine...I wish,I have it too...Emco make great stuff..Love my good old Emco Unimaat 3...work a lot on it so far.. Good luck with it!! Thumbs up!
Sorry, I don't have Wincam. If you don't have the documentation for your emco control google to find it. The Emco versions of the control manuals, (Fanuc, Siemens etc.) cover the basics.
+camcompco I rewired the PC Mill 125 to run 230V single phase. However, this machine only uses single phase internally (except for the coolant pump), even though it calls for 400V 3/N/PE. You won't be able to do that with the Turn or Mill 155. You will need rotary converter or 230/3 and transformer. Let me know how that Turn 155 works out for you.
+rcdieselrc Thanks , will do once I get her running. . .that's the hard part at this juncture, I don't know how to hook it up to the RPC-Transformer-Mill series. The equipment came separately (transformer was not connected.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated . . .I can post pics if that helps :-)
+camcompco I would RPC -> transformer -> machine. The transformer should be 230V delta in and 400V wye out. Neutral of 400V wye is bonded to ground. Before connecting to your machine verify 400VAC between L1-L2-L3, 230VAC between L1,2,3 to N on transformer output, and 0V N to ground. Transformer should have a diagram showing you how to connect things. Or hire someone.
rcdieselrc i am not sure how to post pictures to you, can you send me your email address and I will send you a pic of the transformer i have. . .i know I am asking you to help a stranger, but I would really appreciate it. all the best John
@@electricbimmer7343 if the original control is working, there is little to gain from a retrofit in my opinion. I have a lathe and mill running Emco Fanuc. There are retrofits of machine like these with umbrella tool changers. But, any tool changer is a bit more effort in retrofit. Look for the Emco cnc users group on groups.io

Nice work on the Emco
how can l pass the program that I made in wincam to the emco pc mill 100 using a 3 1/2 diskette? it would be very helpful if you respond my answer.

you should slow down spindle speed and add longer peck for drilling.
+syntetyczny I made a typo in the program and feed was much too high for the torque available at that speed.
+rcdieselrc besides nice little machine ;)
Howdy rc,
question, do you have the EMCO hooked up to a transformer and a rotary phase converter or are you running 400V to it by default?

Did you convert it to mach3? 🙂
No.The original control was still running when I sold it a few years ago.
@@rcdieselrc Okay thanks for fast reply, I did just purchase a machine like this. The toolchanger is quite a challenge with mach 3 i think

how do you coding that ?
Probably VisualMill 5.0 at the time.
