Thanks for the link, Frank. I wish I were better at electronics, then I would know what this circuit does. It looks like the op-amps only have a 10kOhm resistor on their outputs, which would limit the current going in or out of the amp. This may offer current protection but maybe not

Hi Andy, That is one of the reasons why I want to show a message. Low slideway lube will not estop the machine but will stop you starting a new part. Low hydraulic pressure or a spindle inverter fault will estop the machine. Les Andy Pugh wrote: You might want to consider more than one

You might consider putting an emitter follower circuit at the output of your circuit. The NPN Darlington configuration might be appropriate.
