Finally had an opportunity to be able to disassemble the machine to see the model numbers of the motors.

Here is the Y motor:

Here is what I could see as far as the driver boards for the XYZ axis.

So my question now is, should I try to use these driver boards or should I change them up? Should I try to use these motors or change them up. If one of these motors dies (or is already dead afaik) would it be easy to find a replacement to use with this setup?

I couldn't seem to find an exact match for these motors online, so I would have to find a compatible motor. I guess what I am saying is, it would be nice to be able to order a replacement piece (motor/driver/controller) without having to change out anything else in the future.

PCW, do you think the 7I92 + 7i77 setup will work with this equipment?

Thanks for all the help thus far and thanks in advance for any info, I really appreciate this community for helping me get this machine up and running!

OK , those are standard analog drives as suspected, so a 7I77 should work fine
I would test the motors before making any judgements

(disconnect motors from drives and linear axis and apply say 5V to the MOTOR+ and MOTOR- leads)

Thanks PCW!

I will get those items ordered ASAP.

I see there is a sourcing and a sinking option, which would you recommend?
The 7i77 should have no problem with my VFD, correct?

Thanks,
Randy

I ordered the sourcing version. Seems like that was more common? Is it just a wiring change to go from sourcing/sinking? I hope I ordered that correctly.
order_id=5577
Thank PCW
