Mach2/3 servo with Viper drive

[Larken]

Feedback from OEM customers running Mach3 and Viper drives, say the Viper runs faster and smoother than other servo drives they have used.

Interface (breakout) boards for Mach 3 are available from numerous suppliers on the web, and Larken will have one soon as well.

I'm running Mach2 with Viper 100's on my mill. They work well together.
The nice thing is the Viper is easy to connect to. The Fault line just gangs off the 3 drives and goes to the E-Stop input to stop the Mach2 if the Viper detect to heavy a load or a full fault.

I use our StarCam controller on our routers which uses a motion control board with ram in the controller. It outputs Step/Dir signals to the drives. It runs in any version of windows and is very easy to use.

I am making a Mach2 interface though for people who want to buy controllers and want them to run Mach2. It has a large following and is a good program as well.
