PCI Motion control card
« on: February 28, 2009, 06:32:59 PM »
Hi All

Need some help I am retrofitting a Takamatsu 8 station turret cnc lathe. I have all manuals ect. I need to know what is the best PCI motion card out there to use and what is compatible with Mach3. The lathe has a Yasnac 200G control that I will get rid of, I will use the all the brushed servo motors, Amps, and power supply . They seam to be all fine. I will replace the resolvers with rotary encoders.

Any Help
Thanks

Mach works with a regular PC parallel port, or a SmoothStepper.  I don't know that is supports any PCI motion control cards....

Answered you in the other thread but will paste here as it is probably more appropriate in your own thread.

"The only PCI out there that has a plugin for Mach is the Galil, dont know how good the integration is now but there is a Galil part to this forum so you can check there.
 The DSPMC mentioned above I think is a self contained unit and support for it seems to be good, again there is a section for it on the forum."

Been usimg the StarTech PCI cards with good results. This last PC (an Asus P1 book sized) had no parallel ports at all so installed a dual parallel ported PCI card. Works great. StarTech is a fine group to deal with too since the cards have a lifetime warranty for tech support or replacement.

Hope this helps too....

I guess that's sort-a different.... :P

I'm also using a Startech PCI2s2P 2 port 16650 parallel card, I just recently bought a new HP Workstation and have no movement yet in the machine. Did you have this problem at first. I have XP over Vista.
