I was just kidding you a little Andrew.....kinda thing that doesn't happen twice!

So I managed to liberate the Sameco Multisam MUZ12.65  Bar Feeder from it's previous owner and drag it home. As the small Chipturn CNC lathe didn't get collected until the following day, the bar feeder had to stay out on the loading dock tarped up over night:
awemawson:
Hopefully all these panels are the right ones - I grabbed what I could from the tip the chap calls his workshop
awemawson:
As you can tell the chap really looked after it well, keeping it spotlessly clean  :lol:

Air regulators smashed, cables hanging off, how do these people earn a living when they treat their machines like this :bang: :bang: :bang:
awemawson:
This bar feeder uses a PLC controller, however the fellow 'neglected' to tell me that the power supply had gone away for repair and not returned. I have however traced the place it is  and negotiations are afoot to recover it. If I never get it back it's not the end of the world as it's only a single rail 24vDC supply with physically several outputs, and the main transformer for it is still in the machine. It only needs a terminal block, bridge rectifier and capacitor.

An identical PLC flitted past me on ebay last night, and as no one else was bidding it seemed only right to give it a home :)
