Good evening Dominic Francisco,
Could your 'cognoscenti' explain the process of adapting the Linux/EMC
to our machines?
Linux CNC is a very versatile software running real time controlling the CNC
motors, similar to Mach-3
for example. It can be tweaked to meet different machines, interfaces, and
integrated in very different
hardware.
Depending on your hardware the ways you want to upgrade or modify it, LinuxCNC
can take care to control
motors, auxiliary, displays, HMI, etc ....
Is this system a NC controller, does it resemble the contemporary NC
controllers such as the Pico, Centroid,
Mesa & MACH-3 systems? does it contain similar hardware: encoders, tachos,
amps, A/D, D/A converters,
zero-crossing detectors & a motherboard? Or does it consist only of software?
It is possible to integrate hardware interfaces through HAL (hardware
abstraction layer) which makes
possible to 'wire' hardware with LinuxCNC and integrate the devices you mention.
In principle it is used on a computer with direct access to the servo drivers
(electronic motors controllers).

Boun Giorno to the Cognoscenti:
Our non-profit, veteransinitiatives.org nee 'VITAL', is a 501, C-19,
whose members compose a mouthy collection of gun-totin', somewhat
irreverent (somewhat?) reprobates who have defended our priceless Nation.
We are composed of machinists, chemists, mechanics, patternmakers,
electroplaters, welders & 1 metallurgist (you never want more than 1 of
them in your rabble!)
Our mission is to teach
the elements of mfg technology to our most deserving citizen, our DisAbled
American Veteran (DAV) & our ambulatory Paralyzed Veteran (PVA), so they
may obtain career employment in our Nation's mfg sector. this is a
'thinly-veiled program' to save lives; that is, the lives of MilVets who
have returned from the 'killing fields'.
For the last 4 years we have been moving machinery (~35 tons) from our
shop in CA, to the primitive, eastern territory of Nevada; this is mining
country: Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Rh, W ........
We have several machines we wish to convert to 4-axis NC. one of these
monsters is a Monarch 75 VMC, equipped with ~100 lb servos. we have removed
the GE-550 'refrigerator'.

Please be as specific as you might,with your recommendations.
May our Lord protect our valiant warriors,
