I have searched extensively but have not found a thread that addresses this.
I am considering an Acornsix retrofit on a Sieg CNC mill.
The mill uses Shanghai Electric Company AC servo drives and motors.
Drive model #: KT270-H-20
X axis motor model #: 60CM-8M01330-FE-c
X axis motor: kW 0.4, V-120, A 2.6, Nm 1.27, RPM 3000, Ins F
Y and Z axis data plates are not viewable and will require motor removal for positive ID.
I understand that it is generally possible to reuse existing servo drives.
My questions are:
1. Based on the photos and the data plate specs, does it look like it is possible to reuse these AC servo drives?
2. What are the realities, downsides, and extra work required to reuse these drives vs replacing them with known-supported AC drives?
Thanks
Edit: photos were not appearing as links, so made them attachments

Re: Acornsix - retain existing AC servos
Do you have manuals for the servo drivers?
For Acorn6 they must accept step and dir commands.

Seems like it will work with Acorn6
