I usually have or can

find something to keep

the machines running.

If you don't see it here, then I will make it or get it made.

UPGRADES

UPGRADED SERVO AMPS

The older PWM servo amp modules can be upgraded to newer GTK or other brand amps.

The first GTK amps had a whistle, switching in the audible range. They were not protected from a short circuit to ground.

Newer PWM amps are higher frequency, inaudible, are short circuit to ground protected, and have status lights for a fault.

MODIFICATIONS

Controller retrofits, software version changes, USB floppy emulators, solid state hard drives,

variable speed spindle drives, motor substitution, encoder substitution,

moving vacuum brushes, RS-232 communication.

BRUSH HOUSINGS

THE PDA MOVING BRUSH

I make a version of the PDA  spring loaded brush housing for the Kennards with 1/2" of travel. This makes for quick tool changes

with 1/8" tool holders and ringed circuit board bits,
