Anyone ever retrofit a Servo II system?
Hi - This is my first veture here as I have just purchased a Lagun FTV 2 fitted with ballscrews and a Servo II system on 3 axis, 3rd being the knee. It looks like a nice clean setup, but I didn't get a PC loaded with the CNC software, just a pendant for teach mode (apparently it will work standalone with just a pendant in manual mode).
So now I have to decide whether to invest into getting this system CNC capable using the remnents of old control platform and buying the pieces that are missing ($$$), or converting it to a step/direction based servo system with new motors and motor drives using Mach or EMC.
Is anyone using Servo II that can comment on its usefullness, or tried to do a conversion reusing the motors and maybe even motor drives? It looks like these motors are variable reluctance type and I've found no drives out there that will handle them yet, so it looks like a conversion will pretty much be from scratch.
TIA
Any contact information for the CA fellow?
Can you post contact information for the fellow you?
