The motor connects to the controll PC via a serial cable (clean and simple or non-modular and obsucre?)ģ. The fact that the servo does not require support drives is very apealing. The dynatorch software will work but that dos'nt leave room for a future change. This is very apealing but aparently requires software specifically designed for smart servos which unfourtunatly are not all that common yet. smart servo motors: example: Dynatorch system. This option I think I know most of the pros & cons except gear box life expetancy? I talked with Walt at dynatorch and he claimed to have a customer with better than 7500 hours of use on his gearboxes with virtually no wear (under 6 arc/min)Ģ.

Standard servo system: Servo motor with gear box reducer (10arc/min or better) seperate servo drives. (yes we can justify the time & the money) The machine has no controlls just the drive motors.įrom what I've read, I'm pretty set on not using a straight open loop stepper system for the standard reasons. My company bought an older stepper driven VICON 5'x10' plasma table for retrofit. Hey all, I'm fairly new to the forum so please be patient with me but I could use some expeirienced enlightenment.
