Hi Ions82. How far have you got with your investigations?
I am in the process of retrofitting an Extron mill and I went for a Dynomotion Kanalog/Kflop board after a lot of investigation.
The machine is twelve years old and most advice was to ditch the old Panasonic servos and drives and fit new ones. That was outside my budget.
I got in touch with Tom Kerekes and he advised me that if I could get servo movement by putting a standard 1.5v battery voltage across a couple of pins on the servo driver input then we should be able to get the machine working with his board and Mach3.
And he was right. I got movement with the battery and tons of help from TK.
We removed all the old computer hardware and have a standard PC, running Mach3, and the KMotion software that comes with the board and is used for setting up the system to interface with Mach3.
I have the machine at the stage of tuning the motors and I am still in information overload mode, but we're getting there and Tom's help has been fantastic.
There have been a few misunderstandings with terminology, as you have to cope with engineering, coding, computer and just plain English terms, and Tom has always been patient with me and worked through it
