Each part setup can be saved as a "recipe" and recalled later - up to 496 different setups.
Servo motor has 15% more torque than the original, and runs much smoother and cooler - resulting in up to 50% less need for drill sharpening or replacement.
Touchscreen displays spindle motor and servo motor torque, and tracks maximums reached, which can be reset at any time.
Onscreen replacement pushbuttons for starting and stopping the coolant oil pump.
Tracking of total number of parts run, and total hours for Spindle Motor.
Numerous alarms screens.
Many more features.
All electronics in the panel are replaced (except main disconnect unless necessary) with a self-contained UL labeled sub panel.

Application range is 1 hp to 7 hp Spindle Motors.
Most of these old gun drills have great iron, and just need new controls. This is the solution!
