I believe you would be able to control these with an Oak in velocity mode. The wiring would probably be a little annoying since it looks like you'll have to wire the encoders directly to the Oak rather than to the drive. From reading the manual, I would try wiring like this for velocity mode: pin 1...

I'm assuming this is the inner working of the controller - not sure yet, so reviewing.

Ive looked at the programming manual, that doesnt cover the interfaces etc.

User manual for the drives attached.

Page 28/68 shows the inputs / outputs. The -10 and +10 Speed reference are what looks to be for tuning. The actual control is 9 and 10 and called 'Differential Analog Input'.
Thoughts please?

Thanks

Just checked, the drives are made by Control Techniques and seem to be plentiful, just trying to find a manual.

Looking at a Gate machine, 5 axis. It currently has a Hedenhain controller - TNC407 / TNC 415B / TNC 425 (one of these, all in the same manual, not sure which one). The X Y and Z are all DC drives and are Maestro 140X8/16. The A and C Axis are Mini Maestro 60 x 7/14. I dont know if they are DC but l...

Thanks. It looks like most if not all offer velocity mode, so this should be fine then.

Also searching for a Triac retrofit. Can Centroid output Step / Direction for spindle servo or only 0-10V? I'm concerned that some AC servos wont allow 0-10V.

Ah, that means you havent got an offset correct somewhere, IE reset up the tool.

Sounds like a mix up of radius vs diameter, I had that before.
