My son has a Bridgeport Ez-trak CNC series 1 mill dating from 2002 which is fitted with an Accurite cnc controller and MTS074-44 servo motors. It looks like the servo motors have an encoder fitted, there are also glass scales which feed into each servo assembly.

We would like to use this machine with Mach3 which we also use on a Seig KX3 with great success.


As it looks like the servos are self contained is it possible to use a breakout board or something like that to connect to a pc and Mach?


Or has anyone has some experience of the machine and is able to point us in the right direction or have we got to change the servo motors for steppers?


Thanks

Peter
