On my Anilam converted BP Series 1 knee mill all the wires to the servos run in one flex conduit. The power wires are ordinary MTW wire, I would have to look to see what the resolver and encoder wires are (I'm not near the machine atm). John On 11/13/2011 4:06 PM, Bruce Klawiter wrote: > I am

I wouldn't run encoder wiring in the same conduit as power wiring. Most encoder wiring is at a 0 to 5 volt level, and could easily pick up noise from the power or tach wiring which could mean extra or mixed counts. I would also have the tach wiring and encoder wiring run with shielded cable,
