BR549,
I should have mentioned this, but we can't get the current control to communicate via the rs232. The people we had working on it basically gave up. This is why i want to update it to mach.
What is the list of things that i need to get to start.
3 drives that can take 140V
encoders (what type) (the motors have extended shafts on the back for the current encoders (looks like an armature with 4 brushes)
and what else?
A VMC and a turning center is on the wish list, but we need to pick up a laser first to take the pressure off of the waterjet, so we are going to utilize this mill for a while to get started with.
