I have cut the same mickey mouse on a 3020 but with a Fanuc 21i control, with look ahead and DNC (drip feed) from the PCMCIA card. VERY fast running about 125 IPM in aluminum. The DX32 could not do the same thing.
EMI has a option that includes their software, and a BMDC 4 which runs faster and has a lot greater memory capacity. The 3020 uses Yaskawa axis drives and motors. Usually this kit is used with the Siemens drives for which they have different optimization boards.
