Oh dear, I'm sort of glad I became rather cynical about the Rutex's and
didn't buy their drives.

Well I have been evaluating the CNC Teknix drives here albeit only the
80v 25A drives (tek10) their Tek20 drive 200v 15A CONT is currently off
their website, but if you speak to the Designer there, he may be able to
advice.

Email me offlist and I'll pass on his direct contact details.


Other than that there's a whole range of more industrial analogue input
drives out there which you could use with something like the Pixie
interface. Like Axor, Elmo, etc etc. Very unlikely to be in the same
price range though! But sometimes you have to do what you have to do eh!
