I thought i had finally figured it out, but im not sure now!!
I am needing to replace the Z axis on my plasma table retrofit,
the old Z axis motor was controlled and powered by a standalone torch height controller, i cant get that to work with the new motion controller so want to replace that with one i can control through mach3.
First i wanted to keep the old brushed dc motor, because there is nothing wrong with it, and it would save me dismantling it!
But the more i look at it the more i think it would be easier to replace that, the encoder is 24v were most servo drives seem to work with 5v encoders,
so i am looking at kits like these..
or this
or this, but am leaning more to ac servos to avoide the need for a dc power supply.
I dont want to spent a fortune, but also dont want to buy total crap either!
Also the big one is, it has to accept +-10v analogue input signals from my motion controller.
any input very gratefully received!!
cheers
