Hi everyone. I have a 1997 Prototrak 2000 fitted with a MX3e control which has been giving me problems over the last couple of years and due to its age I would like to fit a new control system like maybe Centroid Acorn, DDCSV or UCCNC. Has anyone gone down this road and can advise me? I'd like to utilise the existing DC servo motors but if possible do away with the glass scale linear encoders?
I do not know if this is possible and am looking for the best way forward in achieving the changeover. Currently programs are input via floppy disc or cable and I have the DNC dongle for allowing 3 axis machining but ideally I could get a 4th axis if a new control is fitted.
Any help very much appreciated TIA
