Brother TC-225 / TC-229 adventure!

Your setup is different. Your servos have resolved but the drive passes back quadrature signals. Plus they have very limited power. Easiest to replace the whole lot if it came to that.

So... anyone want the TC-225 with the conversion as it is? Getting ready to move, thinking i should maybe just keep one of the machines.

i have just bought an old brother tc225. I make decision to replace new step motor for XYZ axis and keep spindle motor and spindle driver. Can you tell me how to use this ac spindle motor and driver?

spindle needs +-10v analogue. so you need a board that can output that. mesa likely has a simple cheap board that can do it. or if youre not using a mesa system, then, youll have to look around for something.

so, my friend has got a second machine going with the allen Bradley drives and the stock tc229 servos, and this time has managed much better tuning and performance.

so, this might be the next thing for me to try on the tc225.

sadly I still have no shop. this city sucks for work space.
