I recently got given 4 Bandit cnc systems One is a trainer that has a plotter (no driver boards) 2 are mostly parts and the other is a sevo system that was used on a bridgport very little and worked a when it was removed about 5 years ago. I think the logic wors on this machine but the moters wont lockup turn ect (i alsor tried trimpots) one motor tunes (By hand) easer one way then the other The voltage to the boards(driver) is ~75 vdc One ofthe pars one has bad 5v line (for logic) but the moter hooked to it has good holding torque. I think the servo motrs are about 500 in oz. I also have 3 more 500in oz servos from a parts machine. I have thought about going gecko and pc but these motors have a resolver and that would be more complex ( i would like it to be as cheap a possible of a conversion /fix ) Any help and advice please cody wildhorsemfg@yahoo.com

| It is so expensive to revive a Bandit and keep it running, considering the lack of user friendliness of the system even when it runs well. I'd say retro fit it. Take the resolvers off and use encoders instead. Get some modern drives. There is likely nothing wrong with the motors themselves, most Bandits had beefy enough motors for the moderately sized mill.
