Prospective customer here.
I am pretty much sold on the MPU11/DC3IOB for a CNC conversion project of a Gorton 2-30 Tracemaster, however I am still on the hunt for servos. This is a big machine so I need some grunt to get the table and especially the knee moving.
I am looking for documentation and additional specs on the 29in/lb and 40in/lb Servos sold by Ajaxcnc. Specifically, I assume the stall specs provided are for Max, what are the values for continuous torque? Who is the originating manufacturer of the motors?
**RESOLVED** Question about Ajax Servos

Re: Question about Ajax Servos
Additional question. Are the mitsubishi MR-E series driver/servos w/ serial encoder supported by the MPU11/GPIO4D?

Re: Question about Ajax Servos
The 29"/lb motor provides a continuous torque rating of 29"/lb at 8amps.
The 40"/lb motor provides a continuous torque rating of 40"/lb at 12amps.
The continuous rated output of the DC3IOB is 15amps.
The Ajax hardware requires incremental encoder feedback. Many servo amplifiers provide a synthesized incremental encoder output to the control which works fine with our hardware. I don't know if the Mitsubishi model you mention provides a compatible incremental encoder output or not.
