Has anyone done an upgrade on a mid 80's Bridgeport mill with a Pro Trak control? I have one that has Gentek DC servo's and amplifiers. The machine has servo motors on all three axis and they work fine but I would like a more modern set up. I have the schematics and manuals. The manual says that the amps work using Pulse Width Modulation. I'm not sure what it uses for signals. I have seen in forums that others have used Mesa boards and EMC to retro older controls using the original amps and motors. I am a Linux fan, I use it as my primary O.S., but no expert. I am no electronics expert either. Others have made it sound easy. Would a experienced machinist like myself be able to tackle this? Has anyone done a similar retrofit? Thanks for any replies. Terry
