Help identify and start this cnc router
I received this cnc which was sat in a garage for at least 5 years, need to figure out how to run it (after i mechanically fix it). It's hooked up to RoutOut CNC controller with UC100 lpt>usb adapter. Very weird construction that uses belts but is a rack and pinion machine, steel cored 10mm polyurethane belt (Synchroflex T5) as a rack and closed loop belt on driving sprockets as a kind of pinion (more like tank track) that hooks into "rack". Other side of Y run by shaft stuck through the gantry, motor one side only. Unplated NEMA23 motors all round (3 of them). Dont mind absent "rack" as i took belts off for cleaning and resticking, some bright spark "reglued" the belts with hot glue and superglue (originally fastened with double-sided tape).
Downloaded UC100 drivers just now.
Anyone knows/have this machine ? What software would i need to run it (Mach3)? Postprocessor for it (assuming using Vectric/VCarve software) ? Anything else i need to have to start it moving ? Presently just need to see if electronics will talk to a laptop before i decide to completely fix and mod it.
Any help with this machine is appreciated, thanks.
A bit about me as it would lessen questions about knowhow i already have - I'm a cnc machinist, running SCM/Morbidelli Author 430s router (main spindle+10 pos vert/hor boring head+lock router+saw, Xilog/Genio). Own 2 lasers (one 100W CO2, one 100W MOPA JPT engraver). Not a complete n00b but never fiddled with hobby level cncs before.
Some pics of the machine...
