Camsoft/Okuma

[dmws]

I have a Cadet Mate with a OSP 700M , with only the base memory and was
considering using the Camsoft PC based control instead of upgrading to Dnc-b
, Has any one done a converstion like this ? would it have to be taken all the way down to the ball screws to get it done?

Give Camsoft a call, they will tell you what all is needed.

You almost always keep the axis and spindle motors. The drives are a big question, Camsoft compatible drives use a 0-10 volt analog input signal. You really have to get the details here for a good judgment.

Not a big cost item but you need 5 volt differential quadrature encoders throughout. All of your I/O will be connected to Opto 22 terminal boards. These can run at any common control voltage.

Your major items are 1)good P.C., 2) Galil or camsoft motion card, 3)Nudaq I/O card, 4)several terminal connectin boards and PC cables, 5)Camsoft software. As mentioned above, a big variable is what drives.
