What is the controller manufacturer? If it is a Sharnoa controller, I may be able to help.

regards,
John

Hello mpryne:

I have no experience with the Bandit control. It is a really old control. If it had DC servo's, with a +/- 10v signal output to the amplifiers, you could use the servo's and motors, and retrofit a new controller such as the Vital Sysems dspmc.

If it is stepping motors, I would suggest a total retrofit.

The Vital Systems controller is an excellent unit, and very capable, plus it has been engineered to work with Mach3.

That's all I can suggest at this time.

Regards,

John
