    Default Bought an older lathe and have some questions about swapping controls

    I picked this lathe up from auction and would like to get rid of the current electronics and set it up to run mach3 since it's was I use for a different machine.

    It's an AC spindle run off a VFD.

    Fanuc Servos-
    .9kw
    199volt
    4.7amp
    133hz
    2000rpm
    model b6/2000

    I plan to swap over to a smooth stepper control setup for USB.

    My main questions:

    -How do I determine the proper power supply for the servos? I believe it has a 500va transformer right now?

    -Are the fanuc servo amplifier the same as a driver? I would like to use gecko 320x drivers.

    Thanks
