Hi!
Some while ago I bought several old Gutel G100 precision CNC lathes and slaughtered all but one of them which left me nice compact machine + enough of spares to last a lifetime of hobby machinist. The only real gripe with this machine is ancient (Fanuc 5M / Sinumeric) brain that I would like to replace with Mach3/4 driven electronics.
The X-Y servos are Fanuc A06B-0613-B031 56v/12a motors with pulse encoder. Is there a reasonable way to drive those or would I be better of replacing them with new motors + drivers combo?
Thanks
