Got a new to me 1987 Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 2 mill with Heidenhain
151 controller. Machine was made in England. Servo motors each have
an encoder for the DRO in addition to the tach for motion feed back. Also
has an MPG encoder for axis jogging. The Heidenhain books give very little
info on the parts they use. The plan is to update the servo drives with
something that will take step and direction inputs. Can anyone tell me
about the Heidenhain encoders? Are they quadrature or are they gray scale
resolvers? If they are quadrature, how many pulses per revolution?
Any light that can be shed on this will be greatly appreciated.
