Now you want to hook up a machine that is almost twice as big.
Everything You explained me is clear, and I thank You to help me confirming/clarifying my ideas.
Your only statement I can't understand is the one quoted above.
"New" spindle motor is 4.4 KW against 10Hp "old one".
The rest of power absorption is in movement feeding, whose speed, and thus power, could be choosed from nearly 0 up to 1m/min.
If I am to remove this second motor, replacing it with 3 different stepper or brushless motors, feeded via proper, independent (from spindle) supply, for total, let's say 1-1.5 KW (I don't know how to evaluate the minimum size to fit to given machine size), being satisfied with lower motion speed than machine itself could accept, everything controlled by a Personal Computer.
This is the bet.
And I'm looking for information about how to do it.
Have a nice day.
Michele
