Re: update copylathe with Siemens 802c and Newall Microsyn readout

Thank you Ray,
I will visit a collet factory next week saturday. They have a couple
of hydraulic CNC-machines. Strange Germans before it was no deal to
enter, now you have to visit the production boss on saturdays.
Sounds to me like we are back in the middle ages.
Anyway Robert tells me except frequent problems with the CNC-controls
(not the Server boards) he hadn't had trouble with hydraulic oscillation or
poor
positioning.
The controls fail because of electric peeks and black outs. Typical for
Latinamerica, but you get rid of it using a UPS feeding the control.

Today I contacted my supplier. He will quote valves with progressive or better

logarithmic behaviour.
I'll let you know about news.
