Micromill coupler

Post by RNR107 » Mon 21 Feb , 2011 9:56 am

Hi All,
I just bought a second hand Micromill. All looks good apart from one of the couplers (between the stepper motor and lead screw). the coupler on the Z axes is broken in half...

I though I could source one online, but after de-assembly realized it is not a standard part... more specific to the micromill.

Anybody could tell me where I could buy one from?


Thank you,
Laurent

Can you upload a photo of the broken part.

There are several different couplings and it depends where and when the machine was built as to what was fitted.

We may have stock of the part you require here at the factory.

Hi,
Will upload a picture as soon I get home, But to give you an idea of what it looks like I attached a quick drawing (showing a cut along the coupler)
