Andrew, What brand of servos and drives are you using? Because I'm about to install the new control on a slant bed Mazak and I'm using these servos: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Delta-1KW-3-18Nm-AC-Servo-Motor-Drive-Kit-ASD-B2-1021-B-ECMA-C21010RS-Shaft-22mm/162717987619?epid=7007485014&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item25e2bf7323:g:BdgAAOSwSpxZ6Bw1&enc=AQAEAAACYBPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qUmWz426WDr%2B5Bq8tSbuMRoBFn3PL9wnIFWXvJSK8BW3IiUvFesCjNT6kqPq8OBSNR2Vu5HvqRS389wbKy%2BPWlnfFko23%2BzttmtaYgoO%2BvZklheCAvifK%2Bn51CWAKOpJ4pTXSyjT831NM3H83g5PEMTYIQqR5vTK4OlN1F0a%2FOcAimLjhFIZzwBpBVHzw00NbEdt%2BfAIofkYP3RyzMLC%2F9QNTAyH%2FDoxCgwILfdcFU9hM6W%2FkZ5YpcNUkZAhkkNnnafWfg7Czb05zvFepSBaucBdQrrZKouEnGZ0VGhb8RS0HBTGeChkcQxr1hxkTp1lWcXf9iifZpUb04r2Y%2Br54lUssdq4Jyiy3rPT87hrMx0LXACRc4%2F99pBvdWrMZXPOF7AveWFlJ9CjxhVQBfxDNUiH4sHlErU%2FTtsDsqW5uR9G3i2TG1D76wO9eWPMxCP%2BcqTsdealSXIxvzyLJ1Lss42x46L%2FJTiM7VmHfuzcUS2XOdgHu2nm2yZ4ZcHLdidkQdsW85pyhdjb88lX2YWHBWPxzVoklCcCPV4KiiNK1vuzSYEzeziKVB%2BfmO2k8jfQa%2BXRieL9eot0Afxk5chrPC0ldmY9Gf2d8VdRBpTuM%2B23F7KjRco4w3GKP1G1v0JY0%2BoLkkCVb0sTYfT4uexz%2BK96XT7QB4jtxuXbCCij4XviykKJOXnb%2FhygEvCf3%2FQnhD%2BBn%2FRyxj%2BWY7f8MCApazEgxWygL6CIoB08skRjujvScF2ovh0RDLfHBc5cB7NY1QcDRfRSrqSBag07wUuqCQh&checksum=16271798761957f6ee515acc46db9f2447a1b8bbfaf1 Chinesse, but pretty good chinesse. These work in torque, speed and step mode. El dom., 5 abr. 2020 a las 21:21, andrew beck (<andrewbeck0...@gmail.com>) escribió: > thanks for the replies guys.
