Is the gearchange the only speed control, or is there a variable frequency drive too? If it is the only speed control then it is relatively easy to choose a gear on every change of S-number. If there is a vfd, and you intend to use constant-surface speed then the choice is a little more interesting. Does the gearbox change under power? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
