Nope. Can they take a step + direction signal as input.

Plus the Laser Power supply needs to be PWM compatible too.

Looks to be a expensive and difficult retrofit. New servo drivers etc.

I move the k40 laser engines with electronics Cohesion3D

Very few here have experience with upgrading servo motor systems. Are they brushed or brushless? What type of encoders etc. Is the laser power supply PWM compatible?

If you don’t know these answers, your best bet is to find someone local who is knowledgeable enough about servo motion to help you.

I already have a k40 running with c3d

I wanted to spot everything and use a larger work area
