Weekend update 5-11-15

Most of this weekend was spent taking pictures for up coming write ups and going through some 1480 scans, I just got back from the scanning company, to organize them. But, some other projects were accomplished as well. The first was a new pad for the a/c unit for the cnc room. The compressor is currently located in the band saw room. However, there is to much heat build up in this room. The air compressor, air dryer, and a/c compressor exceeded the max heat load. So a new footer and stem wall was built. Here are a couple of quick pictures.

This was done the old fashion way.

Next I made a couple of hole down nuts for the cnc router mdf board.

Sunday was spent on more picture taking and working on the wire edm. The first item on that list was getting the coolant tank up on a new set of wheels.

I just have to get the tank and pumps on this rolling tool stand.

You can see the tilt due to a broken wheel bracket.

This was accomplished with a cherry picker

After a little work it finally came to pass.

Next came the task of hooking it all back up.

There were wires and plugs to connect everything. After this it was time to hook up power and see if the controller still worked. Then it hit. The transformer tripped its breaker. So after a little trouble shooting it was determined that the transformer is bad.

So if anyone knows where I can get a 230 to 200 3 phase isolation transformer rated a 7KVA please let me know.
