I was wondering if anyone can advise me as to what size motors are required to replace my exisiting Magnetek Brushed DC motors on a Prototrak machine. Current motors are 1\3HP , 2000 rpm. and have the tacho type encoders on them. I could swap them out for new encoders at a cost but prefer to go for new motors and sell my MX3 sytem complete with servos, motors, pantalla and PC.
I am looking to upgrade the machine control system with new AC Brushless motors but not sure what size to aim for? Are 750w motors suitable for this Bridgeport sized knee mill? Also require information on which servo drive to match up with them.
Any help very much appreciated, TIA
