Trying to figure out all the Mesa cards and stepper drivers for Clausing Kondia

Again, not steppers, those are permanent magnet brushed or brushless servo motors.
I would not change the drives and motors, that would introduce mechanical issues that might be easy to fix if you have access to a mill.
I would also not change any automation and e-stop wiring, just wire in the required stuff to Mesa and LinuxCNC.

Transformers do not blow, usually they just burn in place with some smoke and a distinct smell, but if left like this longer they do blow violently if any wire brakes....makes me ask: Where are the fuses? GFI?

the fuses are fine we think its something giving too much current since the transformer for the drive boards was smoking when we tried to run it. Ive been trying to figure out if its worth fixing or just finding a replacement that we know works. I know there are a variety of drive boards for small stepper and servos on the small scale but its been hard to find stores that have boards for this size of motor, maybe im just looking the wrong places tho

The photos you originally posted appear to be Servo Dynamics/Baldor LD series servo drives. Since they are analog ,they are easy to diagnose.

No, not the wrong places, probably, but definitely for the wrong thing, 3 times we mentioned those are servo motors and drives, yet you insist on mentioning steppers.

That might have been auto correct i swear i wrote servo, im used to 3d printers so maybe i mixed up by habbit. But yes they are servo motors not stepper motors, the servos motors still need a drive board tho, and sorry for the confusion ill double check the spelling

No worries, for now, but just imagine how that might end up later in the process when we start talking wiring.
