I’m looking to convert one of my diy cnc mill tables into a plasma table. The table that I want to convert is using a Keling servo motor kit w/ gecko drivers and US Digital encoders. I use Mach 3 to run this machine but want to switch to the Dyna Torch CNC software for a variety of reasons. Is it possible to convert my mill into a Dyna Torch like machine? I don’t want to spend any additional money on a new Dyna Torch machine because I have all the main components (motors, drivers, encoders, power supply, table, etc) already on hand and a table fully assembled.
How proprietary is the software? Will the software be able to communicate with my Gecko drivers and US digital encoders? Or is it only functional using the SmartMotor servo/driver combo that Dyna Torch sells?
What would need to be done to have the functionality of the THC that the Dyna Torch machines come with?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
