Hi
I’m looking for some advice
I have experience of CNC machines but little knowledge of stepper motors
I have a old 3 axis engraving machine, the controller has developed a fault so I want to replace it with a new controller and run Linux CNC
The machine has limit switches for the home position and a separate spindle controller that still works fine
These are the motors, they are 4.7 amps
28157
I plan to use a dedicated PC with a parallel port
What do I need to buy ?
Any recommendations on UK suppliers, preferably a one stop shop ?
Drivers ?
Power supply?
Controller?
Steve
