Re: USB 2.0 CNC control and high speed stepper driver

Hi

I know one company who use their systems, I've visted them about a
year ago, the control they used cost about 5000 dollar, I'm not sure
what their prices are now. The motors they use get indeed very hot,
so they use a lot of cooling (cooling body and a fan), I also know
they done a lot of searching of finding the right motor (low
resistence). The video is very impressive and I will contact them
next week, easy for me because it is a dutch company and I'm also
dutch. I will let know the results.
Thanks you Carlos for post.

Hugo
