Hi
Has anyone had experience with this controller? I plan to do a retrofit, but these drivers are not very clear to me, i.e. I'm not sure if they have an analog input somewhere? Thanks

Machine looks pretty good.
Is it a CNC drill press?
What is that induction motor for?
What type of motors does it use?

The phone number listed is a +41 number, which it apparently the code for Switzerland.
I'm assuming you are somewhere in Europe?
Does that old bandit controller work?

Pictures of complete boards, and do motors have any labels?
If not, open one of the connectors and take pictures of the wires inside.

Does the bandit controller work (for jogging axes at least)?
Perhaps you can sorta fix the old drivers at least.
Maybe even adapt the bandit for PC control.

Why did you bother to crop out the background?
Why cut out information unnecessarily?

yes, the machine is from Switzerland, the controller is from the USA, there are no markings on the motors, but they are servo type from some information, it has the possibility of jog only because the controller is from somewhere in the 70s, it also has some mdi options, but I did not manage to start any command except jog.
