hi all, I'm new here and newish to electronics but its something i have been meaning to train in for some time, but now i have been forced in to getting with it a bit
I have a metal lathe good motor good working parts fried circuit board
replacement is about 300$Aus I am thinking of making my own circuit board to do the following tasks
Convert 240 AC (50-60Hz) to 220-240V
wire through to emergency stop and forward reverse (easy tasks the existing switches are working fine)
and the tricky bit (I think) having a speed control on the motor that does not loose torque as it spins slower
first glance at the current circuit board to my novice eyes looks way to complex for the task needed but what do i know maybe all the extra stuff is for the torque control
any input would be greatly appreciated
my other option is to replace all the faulty components but from the reading i have been doing its not an uncommon thing with this machine so i would rather bypass any future issues and change it now if its going to be possible and worth while
thanks in advance for any pointers
