Does control s/w affect machine performance? wasRe: Aerotech Servo Motors?

Hello,

It's a totally different type of machine, but since you've mentioned
IC engines, and shown us a pic of a "fan", you might want to look at
what Comp-u-cut has to offer... Compucutter.com or somilar, I think.
Based in the UK, father-son team, innovative, inexpensive, CAPABLE
machines for engine building. Strange software, but it works!

Hope this helps,

Ballendo
