I use delta servo motor and drive(model-A2). for retrofitting my center lathe.

Link of A2 sereis delta drive :-

Please suggest me the compatible driver board for controlling two axis of my lathe and the spindle motor.

thanks in advance

Apparently these drives can be used with either analog velocity commands or step/direction.
Are you planning on using 3 drives, for the lathe's X and Z axes as well as the spindle
motor?

You could use the Pico Systems Universal Stepper Controller, and use step pulse frequency to
run the spindle. See
pico-systems.com/osc2.5/catalog/product_...ath=4&products_id=30
for more info on that.

Alternatively, you could use our PPMC for analog velocity control, see
pico-systems.com/osc2.5/catalog/index.php?cPath=1
That kit runs $780 for the complete set of boards, and unless the ultimate
smoothness of motion is needed, it may be overkill.

I am planning only for X and Z axis i am not planning for Spindle motor right now.
I am using servo motors and you have suggested stepper drives will it work or you have suggested that because stepper motor is enough for this application.

Your servo drives can operate from step-dir commands. These are easier (and somewhat cheaper) to generate than analogue velocity commands.

In actual fact you might well be able to control those drives/motors with only a parallel port. The limiting factor there would probably be with encoder feedback if you wanted to run the position loop inside linuxCNC rather than in the drive.

You might find this thread interesting, it discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
