Looking for TR50mc

[Richard.]

Very nice coproduction here!!
Everyone does what he can do best. That should lead to great results.

I didn’t build that remote. Well I did make the front panel and modify it to suit Hugh’s board but that is an old remote case I have used and sprayed up that’s all.

Gentlemen, a batch of 10 boards are on order... Be a few weeks from the far East.

I will sort out the potentiometers and rotary switch today and also lay out a front panel that I can also get made from PCB material. Probably white background and black text to match the original.

 

[HughF]

10 boards, 41usd delivered to my door. That's mad

 

[Jim Davey]

I wish I knew you when I had 35 special mig wire feeder remotes to make for a pipeline welder a few years back. You could have saved us a fortune

 

[HughF]

Something like so any good guys? Still got to do the potentiometer scales in KiCad but it will be a while before I figure that aspect of the software out. Been furiously busy with work this week so still haven't got the pots or rotary switch on order - apologies for that.

Other colour options are available if you want. Perhaps black with white silk?

Better, but not finished yet obviously, less likely to show the dirt in a workshop:

Very smart.
Can you do any design and shape you want.

 

[HughF]

I can do any design and shape, yes. I'm using the printed circuit board software and the corresponding PCB fab houses (here or far east) to make the panels from PCB material. It isn't the same as powder coated steel, but it doesn't rust and is strong. The printing quality can vary though. We'll see how this first batch of boards turns out.

Excellent catching up with you today Hugh. Thanks very much for the Stainless cleaning info and equipment.
Glad you liked the fuzzy.
I’ll keep my ear to the ground if I hear of another one going anywhere.

great to see you again mate... made good time, home by half six... a 440 mile day done... that machine really is lovely, if you do ever hear of one i'd definitely be interested.

let me know when you get that 32a socket installed too, i might be able to bring something interesting up for some trials...

 

[HughF]

The boards are on their way from China :

Hi,
there is an auction at e.... germany at the moment that might be of interest.
Just a few hours left.
search; fronius handfernregler
These are for different machines, but the casing might fit to the board Hugh designed and it could be helpful to build the pulse unit...

There is a genuine one now on the german Bay of Evil.

I saw the robot remote thing but I don’t think that’s the same as the tr50.

An update for folks, I've had a week away from the desk job and haven't had a chance to get any more hours on the panel layout. However i did manage to get the pots/ pot knobs and switches all ordered up. I'm back in the office until may so should get this moved along. @Richard. I owe you a front panel design to match the stel casing, I haven't forgotten that.

Ah yes. €400 eh. Christ that’s dear.

 

[Dutch Welder]

Indeed.
But As I've always said, better expensive then unavailable.
