Can the mach 3 be run on the Gerber Sabre, as is, without any new hardware installations?
Hi ValleySigns,
Unfortunately NO.
Just looking at your attached diagrams your machine control is serial and although some 25 way Cannon sub D connectors are used that is just coincidental - they cannot be used to connect your machine to a PC's LPT Parallel Port.
If you were going to make any change from your existing Gerber system then forget Mach3 and go to Mach4. You would definitely need a new servo orientated controller and many other new parts to make the conversion.
Tweakie.
