I really liked the integrated belt housings to drive the ballscrews and the other nice touches on this German BF-20 CNC conversion:
Nice clean install, well protected from flying chips…
Plates on the right are pocketed for the reduction timing belt. Plates on the left mount on the machine…
Stepper power connection…
Another view of the guts…
Manipulating the belt onto the big timing gear is going to be a little bit finicky, but not too bad…
Neat little Hall Effect (proximity switch) limit switches…

Dear all,
I have just ordered the Einfach kit. I expect it for September 2012 (delivery lead is 6 weeks)
The owner of this business has a great experience of converting CNC machines. He has written books on this topic. His website show the best BF 20 conversion documentation ever seen in Europe, US and Australia. Cristal clear. No secrets. German quality.
The site is written in German, but includes dozens of conversion pictures, the process of conversion, etc, pdf files with drawings and lists of spares.
The standard version of the kit is for a BF20 from Optimum. There is an extra fee for similar Weiss, HMW machines available on the market.
You can order a complete conversion (mechanical, motors, controllers, end swithches) or bits of it. Controller come as DIY or mounted/fully tested
As far as I am concerned, this looked as the most complete/robust/affordable conversion kit available on the market.
Christof Selig is speaking/writing an excellent English and answers within a couple of days to your requests.
Regards, Philippe
