Thanks for all the replies.
I'll know more when I get the machine. The agent will probably do the mod,
but even then I'm hesitant. If he screws up I'm the one sitting with a big
anchor...
I think I'll use it as-is for a few months, learn more, then take the leap.

The KB drives are solid. They have been around for many years and work well.
The last one I used was for an index motor on a large lathe and it ran for
years no problems. I don't think it is fast enough for a servo.

I thought you were talking about a spindle drive.
I think it could be used as a low performance positioning drive.
You would need an opto coupler setup for the command obviously if there

Work pretty well. I have 3 on my Bridgeport Series II

I forget what version of the Fanuc Controllers this applies to, but
there were some controllers that had a compact flash slot on the front.
The compact flash slot was used to load and read out the PLC program
logic and the other controller settings. The programming was done
offline on a

Can you say what servo amps you have? The oldest Fanuc had

I'm not going to be any help there either. Never tried to retrofit a Fanuc

The newer all digital amps (they are more amps than drives because even the

Hat just saw this. I'm currently stripping a old fanuc lathe to run
linuxcnc. I found that the fanuc servo drives are too hard to with with.
But to mention so old. I just buy new Chinese servo motors and drives.
They are $300 usd for a 2.4kw matching drive and motor. And really high
quality.

Only if your firmware has that pwmgen. Which firmware is the 5i25 flashed with?
