Hi Chip
Know i did not as i was planning to go with a new drive set up but that plan now is in question i am going to work on the machine through the holidays as i am getting caught up with work so i will attempt at that time to look at saving the servo drives already in the machine if i can and i will download the Diag's now thanks fro reminding me you had sent those.

Thanks i will do a search or them it remains to be seen how this all turns out i have a CNC lathe and another CNC mill but it's much smaller then the Lagun machine it would be great if i had work for the Lagun but i don't so spending a lot of cash on it right now is not in the budget my thought was i could get it up and running with out to much of an investment looks like that plan is out the window i am hoping i find the present drives in working order and use them until such time it pays for itself and i can upgrade to a more modern drive system know anyone who needs some machine work done.

After finding out the fact the DIY drives won't fit the bill i am going to back and look at the drives in the machine, problem is who ever had the machine before me coobled so much to the electrical system  I found it hard to make heads or tails of it but i did make my way through it and found one of the power supplies over voltage to the drives and i don't know if it hurt them i am going to look at repairing the power supply or replacing it just didn't want to through good money after bad and in the end finding out i needed to replace it all anyway don't mind spending some money but having been down this road before and getting screwed over with promises i don't want to repeat this again.

That's correct they are rated at 120 volts dc max but the servo dynamics drives were running the servos  at 100 actually dterreating them a little rutex said that the 220 were my only chance and he felt they would not do the job actually told me to try a larkin drive out of Canada or use the drives i currently had in the machine and mentioned the pixes boards to drive my servos like he didn't want to sell me anything tech guy said my drives were really heavy duty and i guess they are but so what if rutex advertise the drive at 200 volts man that should be way more then the motor's need shouldn't wow i don't know which way to go now.

So what do you guy's think is the story, called rutex today asking about there drives tech support says the drive won't handle my servo motor's looking for a direction here and don't really know what that direction is not going to plunk down hard earned cash until i understand it all.

And the fact i don't have to worry about frying anything hooking up the computer to the drives.

The web site for rutex is still active and allows you to order parts but i did intend to call first and speak with them on the phonethe drives from servo dynamics are $350 each real pricey compared to the rutex or gecko drives i would love to buy US made but the geckos are to small and won't handle the servos and the servo dynamics are very expensive also Baldor offers drives i am checking the price on them but expect they are pricey as well.
