It depends entirely on what kind of servo drives it has. If it uses +/-
10 V
analog velocity signals, there are a couple of interfaces that will do it.
If it uses a proprietary control protocol for the CNC control to talk to the
drives, that can be a big problem. Can you get the model number of the
servo drives?
