    Looking for drives like copley 423 any opinions?

    I'm looking to purchase some drives for a anilam crusader m control retrofit. The servos are Sem 142vdc and 30amps.I plan on installing encoders also. If anyone has any opinions I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks Mike

    If you are doing a complete retro fit, then you would be better off with something like Dmm

    They are in BC

    I have used both Copley and the A-M-C drives and they are very nice drives, but keep in mind these are ±10vdc analogue control.
    Although somewhat superior to step/dir they do not interface if using Mach etc.
    If you do end up using them, use them in the torque mode, not voltage mode.
