General Mach Discussion / best suggestion for Servo Controller ??
« on: April 19, 2012, 08:44:53 PM »
Hi Everyone!
I own a small manufacturing company in VT, we make mostly small parts for the medical indusdtry.
I build most of the machines in house to process our products to help keep costs down. I do have a HAAS mini mill but it is dedicated to other projects.
Here is my dilemma...
I have and older X3 Syila America cnc machine. It ran under Mach 2 and worked quite well for some of the smaller jobs around the shop.
I want to refit it to run faster so I purchased a 1.5kw spindle, 3 mitsubishi MR 2JS20B drives and matching servos and 1 MR 2JS40A drive and matching servo which can be used for the Z axis. I have all the mechanical done with no problems.
Where I am a bit stuck is which controller would be best for this setup and run well with mach 3 ?
There are sooo many options !! Maybe someone here has done something like this and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for reading and any help would be greatly appreciated!
