Two used Benchman VMC 5000 benchtop CNC milling machines for parts or repair
Pair of used Benchman VMC-5000 benchtop CNC milling machines for parts or repair. Both are 1997 vintage, serial numbers 047-41BA-0105 & 107-41BB-0244, with table-mounted tool changers for R-8 collets. Neither is in working order and not sure if either one is a complete unit. My original hope was to have enough parts to make one working machine but never put in much effort. I mostly worked on the controller (Acramatic 2100) for one of the units and was able to get a hard drive cloned onto a solid state memory card & booting with errors. These use a very old version of Windows NT (3.51). My recommendation would be to scrap the controllers completely and replace with a generic e. Centroid Acorn or all-in-one controller. There are some spare parts that may or may not work (servo motors, boards), a bunch of manuals, but no schematics. Drives are Litton/Clifton precision with Computer Optical Products Inc encoders and Copley Controls Model 412 drive controllers. Spindle motors are Eastern Air Devices BLDC 160V DC 1.0 HP listed for 7200rpm cont duty with Minarik controller.
