I've found 8 extra inputs

CrossFire ® Troubleshooting

On the Legacy crossfire I found out that the original BoB in the langmuir has 8 extra inputs no one knows about or never wanted to reveal. The MPG can be used for it’s inputs if your not using a MPG pendant.

A few things I had problems with my thc. First I bought a proma sd then realized I needed 3 extra inputs. Have it running but the torch does not follow the plate it sets the initial height and moves to cut height but no Z motion after the torch fires. It cuts parts just fine and will cut the whole program. Finding the MPG has these inputs gave me the three inputs i needed to run my THC Just working on how to activate and set the MPG to active, now the torch moves with the proma 150, yes I bought both proma units lol. Haven’t tested it yet got tired of being hunched over the crossfire.

You know I have been wondering in the back of my head what my OG crossfire box could be used for. I was kind of considering that it would be easy to convert the simple x and Y feeds to a roller setup for pipe notching since the THC would not be critical (mostly) since most pipe is not as thin as signage. Is it common knowledge which servos I could obtain to work with the old box?

Any Nema 23 stepper motor would work and you can use Mach3 configuration to control max step speed, acceleration, and distance traveled per step.

That unit can drive up to 4A motor with the original drivers.
