Retrofitting a 3-axis VMC with DC servos - guidance needed

Maybe brakes? Do the motors have brakes on them?
The brakes on motors work as a clutch, meaning a friction plate pressed by a metal plate with a spring when braked and an electromagnet to pull the metal part away from the friction plate when released.
Electromagnets are usually shown the same in schematics as relays, they are after all the same wounded wire.

I would probably use pncconfs discovery option so pncconf knows about the
additional stepgens so you can configure the B axis.

You should be able to use pncconf to setup your spindle
The firmware does not affect the spindle setup as the analog
spindle setup would be the same regardless of firmware.

A possible exception would be if you used the breakout board
to generate the analog spindle control voltage, but this would
really only make sense if you needed two analog outputs.

Retrofitting a 3-axis VMC with DC servos - guidance needed

Category: Driver Boards

Hi everyone, I hope you’re doing well.

While going through the electrical diagrams of my machine, I noticed something I don’t fully understand. The schematics show a clutch on each axis. Could someone explain what exactly this means and what role the clutch plays? Is it connecting or disconnecting the motor from the ballscrew, or something else?

I’ll attach the diagrams for reference.

The spindle part I’ve already figured out, since I found out how the connections and control signals are set up. Right now, I’m working on counting all the inputs I will need to make sure the Mesa board I choose has enough capacity. Fortunately, the linear scales output 5V signals, so that part looks straightforward too.

Thanks a lot in advance — I’d really appreciate your input and experience on this.
