This type of conversion should be doable; but it will be a big job. Every little thing must be designed, tested, and tested again. With a little machine, a motor will stall when you hit a stop. With a machine this size, things will break.
Expect your machine to be out of service for a long time during the conversion. Do you own an oscilliscope and know how to use it? Can you read a ladder diagram? I don't mean to scare you away. There are lots of people here who can help you. You will find it a formidable job, but, in my opinion, a worthwhile one.
