I have a hurco bmc 30 milling machine. I would like to change the computer to a k-flop and kanalog board. The machine has servo dynamics dc brush servo drives. The power to everything in the machine is still wired and working. There is a servo spindle. There is also a 24 tool changer, flood coolant, Waylube, and all the sensors for feedback. I would like to get the servo motors, limit and home switches, spindle drive and all the power relays that power drives etc. Wired and working first. That way I can use the machine while I figure out the tool changer and everything else. The machine had rigid tapping also. Does this sound like a good candidate for your boards? Can all this be implemented with those boards alone or will I need anything else. The servo drives have tach, dac, and + - 10v as well as limit inputs. The kicker is I have six weeks to get the servos, spindle, Waylube, coolant, and tool release working. I have all the technical specs for everything in the machine. Is this to much to ask for? Thanks

Hi Jared,
 
That all sounds reasonable.  I recall you have been working on a system for a while.  Is that one working well?

The router I have uses the k-motion board. It works good but right now the control is torn down in my living room getting all the wiring redone for a more professional setup. Im sure I will need help writing the source code for this new build. I will be placing an order early this week. Will it be possible to interface with some of the boards in the machine like the relay board and act board. If so that would really simplify the retrofit?
Thanks again.

Hi Jared,
 
Yes if you can interface to the exiting relays that would be simplest.  You will need to know what kind of signal they require on the control side.  You said you have some specs.  Can you post them?
 
What is the "act board"?

Sorry I typed atc board but these iPads auto correct even when things are typed the way you like. The machine came with all the technical drawings and schematics for every single part including cable diagrams and board layouts. I will go through the book and photocopy everything I believe is relevant to the retrofit and post it here in the next few days. I would like to keep a good record of what I do so others can use this info later.
Thanks
