    Servo suggestions

    Hi all, in process of revamping esab table

    I was hoping to use the existing motor and gearboxes,
    I have now found out what the motor's are,
    They are the exact same as the

    M642TE brushed servo motor DC with built in tachometer,
    I am not to up to date with servo
    As I always worked with only steppers before

    Would anyone know what all would be needed to run these from mach3 or some other modern controller
    As in motion controllers and drivers

    Re: Servo suggestions

    I did an old Gas tracer table converted to CNC, but used BLDC servo's and 10:1 gearboxes, and Galil Motion controller in a PC.
    Current controllers no longer use a tach, as long as they have an encoder on the motor, then you should be able to use a suitable controller, step/dir etc.
