Would a 0.0002" or 0.00005" resolution linear magnetic scale be good enough to use instead of a servo encoder?
Still trying to get the guy with the Acra mill in need of a bunch of TLC to sell it for what it's worth as-is, not for what it'd be worth if it was in working order? The old Anilam Crusader M system uses tachometers and glass scales so any reason LinuxCNC couldn't use magnetic scales of higher resolution? Seems to me that it'd be easier to read the actual position of the table and quill rather than inferring it from how many revolutions the motors have turned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
