Biesse Rover 18 control panel vs floppy help!

[JAZZCNC]

Shouldn't be too hard to convert to a new modern controller. Mach3 would easily control this machine given enough I/O to control all the pneumatics etc for tooling. Check out Benny's machine converted to mach3.
Thou warn you it will need someone with experience to write all the macros etc needed for tool changes etc. This will apply to any controller really so not just Mach3 specific. Industrial strength controllers will use PLC and ladder logic but principle is the same still needs to told what to do and what order to do it in.!!

If going Mach3 route Cslabs Controllers are perfect choice for this kind of retrofit because they have I/O modules so can expand has needed. You just need to know a few details about the servos like if Analog or Step direction and how many inputs and outputs you'll need so you can get correct type of controller.
