Deckel FP5 Gearbox Comp was created by gernoff
chili023 has graciously agreed to helping me develop a working gearbox comp for the FP5 machine.
The system is based on a 6 speed gearbox with 2 shifter motors that drive the gearsets
One shifts:
High Neutral Low speed
and the other:
Low Medium High
The original spindle drive was variable speed DC and will be replaced with a AC servo VFD.
Attached are the wiring diagrams for the FP5 as well as chili023 gearbox Comp.

I am not sure why you are changing the spindle motor? If it works, it works...
You don't need a servo for the spindle drive, AC induction motor is fine. You do want an encoder, but that belongs on the spindle, not the motor.

The existing 7kw DC spindle motor died. You are correct though, I do not need a servo drive for the motor and hope to find a good solution for adding an encoder somewhere on the final output shaft of the geartrain. The FP5 was variable speed so I am hoping we can develop logic to be able to select a gear with speed range near the 'center' of the programmed speed and then be able to adjust spindle speed as necessary while staying in that gear.

If properly configured the system will wait for spindle.N.at-speed before starting any feed moves. So a HAL component that handles gear changes just needs to leave this at false while it picks a gear and engages the gear.
In practice you would probably and2 the spindle-at-speed from the VFD and the signal from the gearchange comp. (possibly inside the comp)
component inputs:
spindle speed command
vfd spindle-at-speed
spindle on
(possibly) motion-mode to allow a gear-change during the next G0
component outputs:
gear selector motor signals
spindle motor motor speed command
arbitrated spindle-at-speed
gear indicator for GUI?
