I am thinking about doing a retrofit of a gang style lathe that has 2 100 Volt DC servo drives rated at 6A continuous and 36A peak current.  I was thinking of doing it with a smooth stepper and replacing the drives.  Does anyone know of cost-effective drives that would work well for this application?  I am hoping to find something that has position following error detection.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi,

Have a look at the drives from cncdrive http://www.cncdrive.com/

They have had good reports.

Cheers,
