Satisfaction with Camsoft?

[archimedes]

Greetings,
Nice responses regarding this product.
I am curious myself --- is Camsoft still charging
a $500 annual maintenance fee ?
or maybe I should ask what is the annual fee cost now?

Very good people. They spend time with me. Very smart. They have helped me many times. I get free software every year or when I ask for new routines they give to me. My shop is up to date.

I’m a newbee with regards to this forum and there are a ton of really bright people here that have been so very helpful and I’ve been using Camsoft products for a little while. I have made a number of neat billet parts for my truck with their software. Here are a few examples.

These folks are all about service! They have helped me get my AS3000 cam system up and running when I needed it the most and have always been there to walk me though my lack of computer skills and typically bend over backwards to help beginners like me get back to carving metal in a hurry! Thanks guys!

Sorry I do not log on very often. I have never used the privite message
feature. I read your message now. I think your machine is to far away for me.

Alright,
I'm going to buy CamSoft pro....very soon. Also, I'm going to get the Galil Accelera DMC-4080 (5-axis) controller? Then, we add some servo motors and amps.

You might want to talk with Camsoft. I'd look into getting the DMC-1856 accelera instead. Communication between the host and Galil has to be WAY faster over the PCI bus vs. ethernet.

Plan on using WAY more inputs than you're thinking of right now. The Nudaq/adlink cards are a better way to go, much more expandable in the future. I wouldn't even think of less than the 48 I/O PCI 7248 for a simple machine. With this route you can add more I/O by changing to a 7296 or even their 120 I/O card in the future.
