Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Retrofit bridgeport

Thanks, I recall having DC servos, now they have AC servos? How much did it cost in the end, and did you use a Retrofit kit? The motors and encoders had to be expensive?

I retrofit my Boss 6. I completely scrapped the original control and
wiring. The only thing I re-used was the pneumatic valves, limit
switches, fuse holder/knife switch, and power cabinet. I modified the
power cabinet to mount on the side where the control cabinet was and
put the operator console swing arm on it. I also scrapped the
steppers in favor of AC servos. Looking back, I would do the same
thing again.
