I have a boxford VMC250 (1991 I think) which I intend to convert to run Mach software.
It has Parker digiplan SD3 Stepper drivers but I am unsure what the motors are as there is no identification. (they are 3.5" Dia 8 wires conected in pairs)
The spindle is driven by a variable speed DC Motor.
The steppers are controlled with a Bradford Instruments Controler with a serial I/P.
Will I have to use a different control board?
Will the SD3 stepper drives still be usable?
Any help would be appreciated. I also have a Boxford 250 slant bed CNC lathe which will also need to be converted.
