I just picked up a Sharp TMV-1 with an Anilam CNC retrofit. One of the three amplifiers is dead - I just got the news today that it's beyond economical repair. I can get a refurbished one (these drives are no longer produced) but it's ~$1,800. This is a garage/hobby machine so I'm trying to save money where possible.
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to drive systems so apologies if my questions are amateur. First and foremost, is it possible to swap the dead drive with something that's not a direct replacement? If yes, what do I need to look for? is it as simple as finding a drive that matches my servo motor specs?
I've attached a photo of the servo plaque for reference. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
