    Default Identifying old controller

    Am currently helping a mate fix his CNC machine (old type made from wood) and want to find out the name of his controller without having to unscrew it and check the underside due to some dodging wiring I am not ready to disturb just yet. Have attached a photo if anyone can identify it so I can use the googles to find out more info.

    Does it run standard gcode? How is it loaded into the controller or does it work off a old computer?

    We load up the GCode in linuxcnc and when we hit the play button the motors start moving as expected

    - - - Updated - - -

    Just trying to work out some of the kinks and we are currently replacing the motors so seemed like a good time to sort it all out.

    Thanks John, really appreciate it. I am so glad you were able to recognise it. Not 100% sure it's exact but like 98% of it seems to be. I can not thank you enough mate.
