Milton,

That's actually the stock Hardinge control enclosure. I had to cut out the fan and grill openings.

Final updated schematic. Needed to invert the Z-axis handwheel encoder; added a Z-axis glass scale; added spindle motor fan; swapped the status light for a two color red/green indicator (green when ready to run/flashing red when in e-stop or faulted). With the addition of the z-scale, this fills up the OAK's available encoders with 2 servo feedbacks, 2 handwheels, 2 glass scales, and 1 spindle encoder. All of the encoder and servo cables are documented on the schematic.

They were from Hiwin made to my specs. 25mm diameter with 5mm pitch on Z and 16mm diameter with 2.5mm pitch on X.

Hiwin is great, and custom screws are not much more than standard screws elsewhere. Quality and specs are top notch and screws are made in Taiwan - not China.

Mind sharing what program you use for creating your schematics?

I don't mind sharing, but I'm afraid it's not going to be of use for most people. The schematics were done with AutoCAD Electrical which is an extremely pricey piece of software. Fortunately, Autodesk is very education friendly and my work gives me access to the academic versions of Autodesk software.

If AE wasn't an option, I probably would have used KiCad.
