Do you no if this would be a massive problem?
Probably not but like I say need to see what's making it tick.? . . . . Get us some pictures.

It could be just a simple change of software or possibly simply replacing a custom I/O board for standard breakout board.? . . . . .On the other hand it could have Custom driver board and I/O board which needs 12 or 24V signals in which case it's often easier and cheaper to just rip the electrics out and sart again with modern stuff.
Also to some degree what motors it use's will play part in what's required and that's why I said before pictures of motors.

Take some nice clear pictures from several angles and look for any markings.
