I have gained so much by learning from this group. I have my Taig mill converted to cnc and working nicely. This is all steppers, though, and I need to learn a little about servos. I have a Daihatsu lathe at work and the controller has died. I am interested in trying to use a pc-based controller to drive the Mitsubishi servo and spindle drives, but I'm not sure if this is really a good idea. Sorry if this is OT, but I would like to know what I need and whose websites to visit. What does it really take to "talk" to an industrial servo controller? Do I need these servo to go cards I hear about?
Thanks in advance,
Jared
