Thank you Steve and Kirk. The control is a Kitamura 1000. I contacted Sanyo and they said the number I gave them are not good. So now we know they are AC servos with encoders, What next?
Seeing how the Servo Amp, motors and encoders are all match and worked at one time. What would you all suggest? Keep the plc? by pass it? 1. EMC 2.? 3. Servo drive Servo / Encoder 4. Machine Tool P.S. Steve. I will recover my manual I had a electronic guy working on the control he needed the books. Thanks for the advise -Those are the same motors as the Kitamura MyCenter 0 here. Is that what you have? Do you have the Kitamura 1000 controls or the Yasnac controls? The motors are AC servos with encoders. The encoders go to the servo amp, which makes a copy of them to send on the the CNC controller. The encoders are high resolution, probably 2000 line, 8000 count. The servo driver probably supports pulse, analog velocity, and analog torque commands. I think this machine uses analog but don't have a guess if it is velocity or torque. The manuals with mine included block level diagrams with cable and connector designations, but no actual schematic.
