Adler 269 fully automatic

[Sasho]

I have the chance to buy an Adler 269, efka motor with  automatic options for a really good price, the only problem is that the efka comes with a 3 phase socket. 

 

 

My question:

will there be any difficulties converting the motor for home use, since theres electronic functions involved. 

 

 

Thanks alot for your help or suggestions

Don't know if this will help, seems it comes up with some frequency in woodworking.....https://www.finewoodworking.com/2002/09/01/making-three-phase-machines-work-in-a-one-phase-shop

@Sasho There are frequency convertors with single phase input and 3 phase output. 

Do a search here.  there are a number of posts about converting power supplies.

The simplest way to use a 3-phase motor from single phase is to use a VFD (Variable Frequency Device) this also allows the speed to be varied, very useful way to add speed control to shop equipment. BUT I don't know if a VFD will work on an Efka unit as there are electronics involved within the Efka, you're not just controlling a motor. The Efka unit may not like the 3-phase signal coming out of a VFD.

I suspect that the most cost effective way of using the machine is to replace the motor/control unit with a servo, but you will lose any fancy options the Efka may have.
