I have picked up a mill with a blown controller by anilam ( Crusader 2 ) mid 1980's vintage . I want to retrofit the machine. According to the prints that I have the the original controller's drive package was West Amp with tachometer feedback. There is no mention of encoders for any of the axises. The motors are also west amp 90 volt 10 Amp. That is all of the information that I can read on the motors. Can anybody give me a lead on how to identify what type of motors I have? If possible can I adapt encoders to them? Then any recommendation on drivers?
Thank You
