    Hurco KMB-1 (need information please)

    I've been looking for a used CNC machine to retrofit with the Machmotion controls. I have a chance to get a Hurco KMB-1 with broken electronics and would like to know if this is a good machine to retrofit.
    I'm very capable of doing the mechanicals of a retro, but not sure about the electronics.
    Do these machines use servo motors, or stepper motors ?
    Someone mentioned they used "glass" scales ???
    Are there any weak links I should be aware of with these mills?
    Any other helpfull tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Dan

    Smile KMB-1 is a great choice for a retrofit.

    Dan,

    The KMB-1 are fitted with Electrocraft D.C. servo's.

    The encoders can be reused with several modern servo drives.

    We have a KMB-1 and its a great choice for a retrofit.

    If you would like to chat please post your instant messenger.
