What are the major parts?

[Arnie]

My machine is progressing to the point where I need to be learning about the servos and drivers. A friend gave me three Gecko drives, G320 DC Servodrives, so that is my starting point. Can anyone give me a list of the main components I will need? Such as;

3 Geckos
3 Servos
a power supply?
.....
.....?

But first of all you will need to find some servos. You will design your control box around the servos.

Maybe some here can point you to some bargain servos. Also It will help if you post a picture of your machine so we can see what it looks like and advise on what you may need.
