Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] BANDIT controls - recommendations?

Thats what my Bridgeport originally had for a control. The power supply should be ok. What kind of motors do you have? Steppers or servos? If you have servos and you want to use EMC software on a Linux based PC, pico systems has all the hardware you'll need. It offers a true closed loop system. It's actually the only one that I know of that does. If you have steppers, I highly recommend upgrading to servos. Ebay has DC brushed Nema 42's often at a good price.

It looks like I'm about to buy a machine with a Bandit control. It
works, but I plan on replacing it. Can anyone give me any idea about
how much would have to be replaced, if I'm to use it with EMC?

I.e. are the drives any good? are the motors any good? power supply
reliable? ... etc.

Thanks
Mark
