Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] UPS for computer on CNC lathe

Most computers will withstand a pretty severe power dip without crashing.
For safety your controller should be fitted with some sort of relay
arrangement so that you need to press a button before the computer can take
control of the machine. This should drop out in case of a mains failure so
the machine won't go AWOL when power returns.
