After building a couple of machines from the ground up, I finally bought my first full size router and why start small. Its a 6.5 ton beast, made by german Reichenbacher back in 1993. Its a model RANC 323 AW and features a Sinumerik 810M GA2 controller. It even comes with a cabinet full of tools.
I started a company with two other guys and the machine is going to serve as a proof of concept for our business model.
The plan is to use it as it is to begin with, but we want to upgrade the controller sometime in the future. The servo drives is in good shape and can possible be reused. There is a PLC controlling the toolchanger etc. and the plan is to integrated it into the new control.
