Denford Triac Mill

[Tommy]

I have a Denford Triac Milling Machine (The model which uses stepper motors) I would like to convert to Mac3 and control the machine from a PC
Can I use the existing drives and power supply or do I need to start from scratch?
Any help would be appreciated

Hi, Do you have “baldor D281 motion control card for a Triac P. C. (denford), red 7-segment LED display type. The firmware is ESMINT 3.28 V1.6H/S - JD5.” Cheers.

Chaz, I got a Novamill with steppers but without electronics and updated it to use modern drives. It was very straightforward, almost everything (BoB, stepper drivers, power supply) came from China via eBay for less than £200; or you can buy complete boxes with drives etc.
