Update: I pulled the trigger on the 1200 in-oz Steppers/drives that Gary had posted on the for sale page couple days ago and plan to couple that with the Acorn rather than using my old DC Servos with the AIO. Going this route seems like a very inexpensive way to at least get my feet wet and get star...

The knee is powered. I have not really messed with it yet and hard to see the entire plate on it but it’s a fairly big motor. My initial guess was too big for the AIO controller but after doing some math maybe not. Looks like from what I can see on the number plate 90V and 1.3HP so figuring some los...

Thanks for the responses. I was able to power up the input to the step down transformer and confirmed 81VAC out and 109VDC at the capacitor (I think it’s a touch lower then calculated value as there is a bleed down resistor across it. I have not pulled it and measured it yet to confirm). I was able ...

Attached are a couple photos that of the control cabinet. The transformer powering the Ac/DC converter is the big black on with the 80VAC sticker on it. Looks like the input of that transformer is across L2 and L3 so I can simply connect the input of that transformer straight to the house 220 panel ...

Yes it does have ball screws.

Thanks and trying to make an evaluation before I spend any more money is exactly what I am I. The process of. :). The ways and screws appear tight. It’s got some electrical issues and I let the smoke out of the factory controller board of which I am not sure why yet. Can anyone tell me what’s the de...

I am wanting to upgrade an old Series II Bridgeport with a Dynapath CNC conversion on it already that I picked up at auction the other day. Challenge I am having is the XY servo motors do not have any markings or stickers. Based on the electronics in the cabinet they are DC motors and looks like the...
