I originally posted this in the LinuxCNC forum, maybe this one will have better luck in getting a response.

I just purchased an Excello mill in good condition with all the servo's, tachs, position transducers, etc. It originally had a Bendix controller on it but that failed and the machine has been idle for a very long time.

Here is what i have:

Micron position transducers
Indiana General DC motors
7 A, 85V, 1700RPM

Westamp A6513-10E-304(111880) servo drives (or whatever you call it.)

Osborne transformer with 62-68V and 1600 V.A Rating
I also already have a PC setup with linuxCNC and it has a MESA 6i25
I have a VFD for the spindle
The machine still has all the limit switches but is missing the oiler (they sold it already.)

What else do I need? Should i use the Westamp drives or get something more modern off of Ebay?
Is the 7133TA card the one I need to connect the Mesa to the drives?

The machine also came with a ton of blueprints for this machine and other Excello mills (around 30 or so total.)

Thanks,

Dan
