I just purchased a Bostomatic BD18-2 from NASA JPL. The servo amp's for all 3 axis were missing. I'm trying to find new amp's and information on the machine so i can make a linuxcnc conversion.
The motor is this glentek GM4040-41 180vdc, 9.1A. I decoded the serial number it has no brake, no tachometer, a special encoder, no resolver. Identaplate shows: GLENTEK Model: GM4040-41-00906101-159 P/N: 3203 TORQ-IN-LB: 31.3 RES-OHMS: 0.8 RATED CURRENT: 9.1 IND-MH: 5 KV-V/kRPM: 5.6 TACH-VDC: RATED VOLTAGE: 180VDC MAX RPM: 3500 JA LB-IN-SEC^2: 0.0163 I've sent a request to Glentek for information on the servo and what amp's I would need to drive them. I'm hoping that someone has some information on bostomatic machines maybe even a jackpot of a wiring diagram for the BD18-1 or BD18-2. Any wiring diagrams or information for bostomatic machines would probably be helpful. Thank you for any help with this project.
