Well, I am a good scrounger, but $1000 is going to push this machine out until maybe Dec 2005.
I would really rather go with actual Servos.
What should I look for in a servo when I am hunting?
I have plenty of spare PCs and Monitors for the control system.
Is Autodesk Inventor capable of driving a CNC machine directly. I do all of my CAD work in Inventor. I can export in DXF or DWG format...as well as others.
As for the controllers...are there good Servo controllers that I can build myself? Any with free plans?
Thanks for the input Buscht, it does help quite a bit. |
