It started life in the 50s as a 40 inch X 120 inch multispindle hydrotel tracer. In the early 80's Cincinnati bought the machines from the used market and rebuilt the machines. They replace the hydraulic cylinders with ball screws for XYZ and installed the AB head on the end of the Y axis ram. The Cinci control was the 'Big Blue' control. Some of the paperwork called the control an 800 and some called it CNC-PC. It had a tape reader, an 8 inch floppy reader and a later added 3 1/2 floppy. We removed the Cinci control in 1998 and installed MDSI's OpenCNC control. A year or two ago I put EMC2 on it. These machines have an asymmetric A and B axis travel. Most Cincinnati 5 axis profilers have +- 25 degrees of A and B travel. The hydrotel retrofit machine's A axis is +30/-20 and the B axis is +20/-30. I like the extra 5 degrees but you must pay attention to part orientation on the table.
