The peak torque you could achieve would be less than what it would be with using the AC/DC.

ALLIN1DC: 75 in/lb continuous, 127.5 in/lb peak
AC/DC-30: 75 in/lb continuous, 150 in/lb peak at recommended setting (peak current = 2 times continuous)

It would most likely run reasonably well with the ALLIN1DC. However we recommend using an AC/DC for maximum performance.

We offer 2000 line and 10,000 line encoders. We require at least 1000 line count though typically you will need at least 2000 line. Please take a look at the below thread for full details on how to determine what you will need.

Nice Job! Glad to hear your retrofit is coming together.

CNC11 is only Windows based. The look and feel of the software has been kept consistent though. While there were advantages to Linux in the past, Windows is now a very stable platform. It also does not require you to jump though hoops to set up basic functionality such as networking. Driver support ...

We don't have a basic plasma PLC program as of this time. However I know it has been done for one off custom jobs using a custom PLC program and the ADD4AD4AD board (4 Analog I/O). Scott is out for the day but he should able to elaborate further.

The encoders come with the hardware to mount them to the shaft. http://www.ajaxcnc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/comp_encoder_large.jpg We have 3/8" encoders in hollow shaft. Actually all of our encoders are hollow shaft. If your previous encoder was not differential quadrature your cable will...

A faster way would be to customize the Aux keys on our jog panel to suit your needs. Alternatively you can do it through the I/O and customize your PLC program. This will probably use up quite a bit of I/O. You will most likely want a PLCADD1616 or PLCADD6464 for this.

Depending on the shaft size some are F18 and some are F14, they are both functionally the same.

Those motors should work great with the ALLIN1DC. The ALLIN1DC can handle up to 40 in-lb, 180VDC, and 15 amps (continuous, the 39 amps on the label is your peak). While your encoders may carry the neccessary signal they almost certainly are too low of a line count. Typically anything under 1000 line...
