Hello I'm getting ready to convert my Charter Oak mill to CNC. I have converted a couple of machines in the past, but they were stepper based controls. I would like to convert this with Servo control. I am having problems figuring out the electronics that I would need to complete this. would anybody have a diagram of the conversion process I could use as a rod map. I am looing to use CNC4PC C32 Multifunction breakout board, Dugong DGS-16035 Drivers, 3 KL34-180-72 (NEMA 34) Dual Shaft 1125 oz.-in Peak 72V/40A, VFD for spindle control, Proximity switches for Limits and homing. One of the biggest problems I'm having right now is trying to figure out the right size power supply to power the system. I will be using 24V and 5V for the low power stuff, but I'm not sure how to calculate for the right power supply to power the servo motors themselves (i.e. correct voltage and Amperage) suitable for all drives. Can I use one power supply for this or will I need to use multiple power supplies?
