We bought an old CNC lathe and never got it working. PLC battery has gone, and we had no paper backup with the machine. It's a beast of a machine mechanically speaking, so we would like to keep it. It's an old Monforts RNC 1000 (1984) lathe with a Siemens control.
Can anyone offer some tips on a cost effective way to upgrade this to something a little newer, perhaps still Siemens but not antique. Something that would plug in with as little modification as possible would be nice, if possible.
Anyone offering this type of service professionally can feel free to send me a PM. We are based in Europe.
