I wish I had caught this thread sooner I could have been of some assistance.
The mill is a Chiron FZ 08 W built in 1999. It was used on optical devices and when power was cut the spindle would drop 2 microns (I was told). So, a battery backup was installed on the controls to maintain power. The machine has a control voltage of 200 & an operating voltage of 3ph 400v.

We are using this mill at our school where we do not have power over 3PH 208V. The electrician that looked into the wiring was our school electrician. I am working on having a more qualified individual look into the wiring. I will contact our sponsor to see if they can send an electrician over to help us.

All that being said; I finally found the contact information I was looking for. I was looking in the manuals (4 manuals). It was on a card on the inside of the machine behind the panel of electrical specifications. Any help you can give would be appreciated but, I will be looking into it on Monday.

I asked John (sparksandtabs) to look around and see if he could get some help. While his "question" was vague some of the "help" seemed bent on making him feel stupid. I can assure you that just because he doesn't use his spell check or any form of punctuation, he is a very smart individual. Many others were helpful and tried to get a good question out of him. Thank you.

In the future John, proper spelling & punctuation will keep others from thinking you don't know what you are talking about.
