<p>Purchasing a commercial cnc table is an option that is available for many smaller shops. This is or can be an exceptional value but there needs due diligence on the buyers end. </p>
<p>The costs of a commercial plasma table runs in the 25k range, I have seen and read about many people that have bought tables in this range and are completely discouraged with their purchases. Right now on my local classifieds site there is a guy that has receipts of 30k for a junk table with all the options. </p>
<p>This is just an example and not the point of this topic.</p>
<p>My table is a 2013 Technocnc Plasma.  I've seen these online before, they are like an industry training system. but very high quality and great instructions on setting up the table and squaring it ,</p>
<p>I ran into trouble with the electronics and with them being older it appeared an upgrade was inorder.</p>
<p>So I am into this big 5x10 table the purchase price, no plasma machine and no controls</p>
<p>I was able to get the original electronics working so i was able to test motors, clean and lubricate and adjust, my main issue and the reason I abandoned the technocnc operating system was it's age and issues with the company that manufactured the table, business issues not quality as a matter of fact this table is a great build from Germany  </p>
<p>The build:  DC Brushed Servos  only 3 axis motors, X,Y.Z    The table Y axis is underneath and down the middle.    (for you stepper guys, setting up duel drives on y axis will give you a brain tumor with servos)</p>
<p>My main concern was Torch Height control and the costs of it.  it appeared most THC add on systems were 350 to 700 bucks. Exploring the Proma <span>Compact THC 150 setup lead me to the complete control system they have called MYPlasma CNC. https://www.proma-elektronika.com/myplasm-cnc-system/</span></p>
<p>Bear in mind I am a beginner to plasma tables, the programs and the operation.</p>
<p>The best option I found was with UCCNC but I was concerned with putting to much dollars into a very large piece of scrap metal.  Our Fix-It company objective is to restore tools to their operating specification  condition at big savings, so this applied  (hind sight I should have went the uccnc setup BUT:)</p>
<p>Here is the primary issue.  DC Servos normally have -10/+10 input to move them. I tried using Kflop / Kanalog ($500) on dc servos in the past and was not successful, so I figured I would have to use stepper motors but this was not the case</p>
<p>Here is what I found and what I have right now.   There are drivers for dc servos</p>

<p>I picked up this plasma machine for pretty cheep. 2000 bucks. It included the electronics and it was my mission to get it operational as it was. These are made in usa with a co-operation from a great German manufacture</p>
<p>i got it working but the interface was older, 2013, not to bad<a href="https://www.armorcnc.com/"> , some of the older machines go back to eairly 2000,</a></p>
<p>I found excellent support from the original guys that built it, armour systems, it just seemed like i was running into little problems.</p>
<p>I have the complete electronics boards and controllers if you are interested. (tested)</p>
<p>I just wanted to try something different and to get some more experience with servo motor setups</p>
