Besides all the arguments pointed out by Chris, I have also doubt for the cost-effectiveness of this approach: 1) isn't the magnet track cheaper than windings for linear motor? 2) the same for encoders as well - I suspect that magnetic strip should be cheaper than the reader unit itself; -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
