    Siemens 840D SL is the ideal control for this retrofit application. You can keep the existing motors and drives if they are in good working condition and just change the CNC and PLC part of the machine.
    We sell and support Siemens Sinumerik products.

    I would also look at Fagor, they have units which are up to the task.
