    Default Servo suggestions

    Hi all, in process of revamping esab table

    I was hoping to use the existing motor and gearboxes,
    I have now found out what the motor's are,
    They are the exact same as the

    M642TE brushed servo motor DC with built in tachometer,
    I am not to up to date with servo
    As I always worked with only steppers before

    Would anyone know what all would be needed to run these from mach3 or some other modern controller
    As in motion controllers and drivers

    I did an old Gas tracer table converted to CNC, but used BLDC servo's and 10:1 gearboxes, and Galil Motion controller in a PC.
    Current controllers no longer use a tach, as long as they have an encoder on the motor, then you should be able to use a suitable controller, step/dir etc.
