Hi all, I'm very new here and Needed help retrofiting my old 2003 vulcan (double table 5'x10') hvac sheet metal fab plasma table with burny 1260 controller, Also need to change-out two servo motor, plasma machine,

I never done this before but has pretty good knowledge on electric and electronic, mechnical (I use to repair tv's, electronic back in 1990's and built few pc my self) that's about all.

So far i been researching on-line & youtube & etc and just got here at masso controller and thinking this controller might work on my project.

My question is, i have two servo motor that has 4 terminal lead connection on side of motors and few more wirling on encoder i think, Also i'm thinking about get new servo motor while

upgrading,i have no idea what kind of servo motor i would need and where to get it, i googled on-line and download the spec of my old servo motor (but not 100% sure what i have)

And what is involve in programming masso controller Since i'm not an any expert on programming.

Any help will appreciate (and sorry for my english)

Here is my servo motor image,

Two Axis plasma table X,Y . Torch head is only need to be raise and lower by controlling air valve solonoid coil power and plasma on N off from masso controller, So no need THC control since torch head is on four ball bearing that riding on thin sheet metal while cutting

I guess i could go with different kind of motor and drive (like step motor) as i seen someone retrofit there machine on youtube, Saw setting-up video of masso controller on youtube & masso website video tutorials,

I'm about to order this Masso controller but, just what a make sure IT WILL WORK on my machine set-up and hvac duct software i'm thinking about is design 2fab or PractiCAM by MetaLab or some another HVAC duct fab software that can do estimation of sheet metal weight being cut or nested from software.

After reading some, Guess i have to wait on touch screen option.
