AXYZ 4008 ATC CNC router control retrofit

Wow great! Thank you for the info! This was also my first experience with linuxcnc. I got the machine moving again after a few hours. The mesa cards are great! Do you have any info on the accuracy of your machine? What type of work do you preform on it?

It was a customers machine.

Oh okay. Do you stiill remember the accuracy you achieved with it? Did you use RS422 to control the drive or analoge signals?

I don't remember the accuracy. And it was step and dir control with 0-10v 9KW spindle control.

It was also a commander SE drive? 9kW must have been a big machine? We also have a 9kW on our 4*6.5m axyz, this one is still using the original controller, the cnc file is made with aspire. I hate this workflow. If everything goes fine on the small axyz machine with linuxcnc. I will surely install linuxcnc on our big machine also. Thank you for your advice!

No it was a TBWoods inverter.

I did do a Biesse router with a Commander CE inverter. It has a pot interface so I used the 7i76 spindle (pot emulator) and connected that along with a relay for forward. It's been working for 4 years now? something like that.
