Re: Recommendations for Restoring Router

What is the power rating on the servos?

It might be more cost effective (and definitely easier), to use Teknic "stepper killer" motors (400W is their largest). These are a servo and drive integrated into a single unit, and just run off step-dir pulses. Really takes a lot of work out of the setup for anyone new to the area. We're using them as the XYZ servos on a knee mill we've converted, and then traditional servos with drives for our router project.

If you want to stick w/ existing servos and do new drives, I can help you with that. I spec this stuff all the time.
