hello all,
i recently purchased an anton cnc lathe, a small but nicely build cnc lathe from the late eighties. i want to change the control to mach3.
i got one question regarding the main spindle motor. i am not very familiar with servos, maybe someone can help. from the spindle motor 3 cables come out, all white. is this a servo or could it be a regular 3 phase motor that could also be run with a vfd?
there is also a transducer and a rotary encoder rod 420 c 1000. here are some photos.
thanks for your help,
michael
