Thanks
The driver you have is a very old analogue DC servo driver so the control signals are +/-10V.
Mach 3 and most of the other lower cost CNC controllers send out a step and direction.
So the answer is no.
If you use the machine for production and it being down cost you money, you would be best to just send the boards to Amtech.
I have known Stuart at Amtech for over 15 years and while he will charge you for any work, he is good at what he does and should be able to get you running again.
