I have an old, but unused drive pack.
I want to convert a Seig style X3 bench mill to CNC and am wondering if this drive pack would be suitable.
The drive pack is an Anaheim Automation DPK72004
it's a 4 axis driver package
rated at 1 to 7 amp /phase (stand still motor current) 10 amp/phase max.
it supports full and half step operation
unipolar drive (for 6 or 8 lead motors)
it's a bilevel driver, not a chopper driver...
here's the lit. for a very similar AA drive pack (I believe the only difference is the power supply is only 600 W on this one)

The individual drivers appear to be AA BLD72s... here's info.

I'm a newby and am just coming up to speed....
My biggest concern is that it is not a micro-step dirver... will half stepping get me a smooth drive for milling.
are these dinosaurs?
any othe comments? input?
Thanks in advance
Matt
