This amplifier from APEX drives brushed DC motors rated at up
to 100volts, and will deliver 20amps continuously (30amps peak) .
A 2kW output capability is a lot of power for $100 !!
It does require some additional electronics to provide the velocity
Mode control preferred by the L.M.S system, and to offset the
+/-10 volt reference signal to 0-5 volts which is the reference
signal required to drive this amp.

MODULE 2
OUTPUT signals generated by the L.M.S controller are + / - 10 volts analogue. These are used to activate the servo motor amplifiers which form part of the variable feed drive units that power the axis.
Each drive unit should include an amplifier, motor and either a tachometer or an encoder feedback loop to the amplifier. The feedback will ensure constant motor speeds under varying load conditions.
The drives for each axis are independent units and can be operated separately using a simple potentiometer test
unit to supply the +/- 10 volt command signal. (this is a good method of setting up and testing the drive’s response times prior to connecting them to the C.N.C controller)
Adding power feeds to each axis is the 2nd module of the machine conversion and also provides another facility which improves the machines capabilities. Modules 1 & 2 have converted a basic machine into a machine with a Digital Readout and Variable Power Feeds on all axis, many might consider this to be a good investment even if a full conversion to C.N.C is not required.
