Hey Greg,
It's a true Servo motor CNC (closed loop) I did the conversion myself, I changed out the ACME screws with ballscrews (double nuts to help control backlash), I built the power supply which also houses 3 Geckos and mounted the servo motors. Currently only the X and Y work via the CNC, the piss-poor design on the Z head is making the conversion a little more difficult. It's a pain to use right now since it's basicly a 2D machine until if finish the Z axis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I run it with a PC using TurboCNC ($20 shareware) to get the signals to the the Geckos. I'm still playing with different CAM packages to generate my G-codes (freeware and or demos until I find one I like and can afford to buy when I get more serious) I use Pro/E (Wildfire) so making the models is no big deal.... There are a few designers here on the board, Demick is a SolidWorks user. I'm going to England, Germany and France (in that order) as well (vacation !!! ), we arrive in England on the 8th. There is a 914 International event on the 19th and 20th in northern France. We plan on attending (my wife and I) I leave tommorow for a week, I'll be back next Friday (business) I see a road trip to visit your house in the future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) Edit: Damn.....you are way down there in SoCal !!!!!!
