Well it was bugging me so I stopped by work and I was wrong on the size. They are 34 frame size, 4 amps each, .55ohm/phase. So they are much larger then I first thought. The X and Y appear to be 24v brushless DC motors with a 11:1 gear box and an encoder. I haven't been able to find the model number on the PIttman website.
I can easily replace the dc motors with steppers. I think they used DC for the speed on these two axis, the head zips around pretty good. For the Z axis can I just get a higher current driver and send step and direction to that from the Azteeg board?
