RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Anilam Conversion ( was Digest 2382)

Larry,

I have a Supermax mill with what sounds like the same Anilam Crusader II
control. The
control is gone but the servo amps, motors, ps, and scales are OK. I have been
considering the Gecko 340 drivers but I'm concerned about the lost motion
between
leadscrews and the linear table scales might cause excess hunting of the
motors.
Have you had this problem?
