That's good...I was thinking last night that most of those servo and control components in that electrical cabinet are probably single phase and powered through a step-down transformer. A little re-wiring would probably make it work off single phase 110V or 220V. The only thing that might require 480v 3phase would be an induction motor - but I don't see one on there or the need for one in that machine.

Since that has some serious automation/programability, it should be possible to make things like a single piece, programmed, filament wound rudder head and arm in one piece.

Could you make the mandrels from one of the new 3D printers?

The only problem is that I have no idea how to program it. That's fonna require some learning!

I got the machine picked up, turned out to be huge! The professor told me the computer needed to be rebuilt and a drive motor replaced. En-tec quoted the work at $70,000! Needless to say I will not be fixing it up.
