Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rotary to linear translation - an interesting idea.

This link provides an idea for a linear to rotary conversion
concept which I feel is one of the best around. The parts
to make this system are readily available from SDP. It uses
a spring called a Negator. You can mount the sensor head
anywhere, via pulleys.
