Novamill spindle drive motor
Hi, I have acquired a Novamill which is without its control box. This is not necessarily a problem though as I have an exisiting set of drive electronics for my CNC lathe which with an extra axis will do the trick. HOWEVER, I will need a power supply for the spindle drive motor. I also have a DC motor driver which might do the job - can anyone tell me what the motor specification is please?

If you have the serial number of the machine (eg H001234 or E01234) then we can say for sure but i think it'll be an SEM motor:

Sorry, just looked at a few novamill spec sheets and they say this:
Model S/no Volts kw Hz Ac/Dc Phase
BALDOR 5000RPM 180 .37 - DC -


The drive would have been a Sprint 400

Mike, thanks for the link. Actually, the driver that I have is a KB one that I bought several years ago with a nice DC servo motor but never got round to using...and just a few minutes ago I fired it up and it drives the motor beautifully.

Cheers, John.
