Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Hp 7475 Plotter Servo's

Dave,

You can download the HP7475 Operation and Interconnection Manual and the
Programming Manual at this site,
http://www.luberth.com/help/HP_7475_Graphics_plotter_operation_and_interconnection_manual/
The problem with the site is each page is a single .jpg file and there are
90 pages in the ops manual and over 200 in the programming manual. So I
just downloaded the pages that I thought would help me. I would still like
copies of the whole manuals. Also you can find info out on how to make a
vinyl cutter if that is what you want to do from this web site,
www.luberth.com, its hard to navigate but you will get the info. If you are
wanting to make a vinyl cutter I can share my drag knife design with you.
Also you can find info on the vinyl cutting forum on the cnczone. If you
want to part with a plotter or a board let me know I could use one. I think
that is what is wrong with my plotter, the board. Even though it will do
the demo plot, I just don't know. I would like another plotter so I could
have some spare servo's.
