2000 series Rutex drives

[CNCadmin]

Any update to the price and availability of these drives?

Hmmmm....I think it's time to rattle the RUTEX cage again....I'm getting tired of waiting for the R2000 product line.

[CNCadmin]

You got that right!

Ya know...my business has growing pains too. BUT that is NEVER a valid excuse not to keep customers in the loop about a new product. Sure, lead times are often difficult to target due to many unforseen obstacles...but for Pete sake, don't say in Nov of '04 that you will have the 2000 line ready in January if you can't deliver by the end of Feb...That's a reasonable cushion.

In fact, why not say 'Spring of 2005'...or better yet, don't say anything at all. You shoot your self in BOTH feet by doing this. The 1st foot gets shot because you tick off customers waiting for your glorious (and it is glorious) new product, while their CNC sits collecting dust. Your other foot is shot because all of us PC owners know that ALL electronics are either soon obsolete or no longer supported...So WHY would we want to buy a 990 series when we can have a 2000 series for around the same price with better features? I'm sure that you could graph the dip in sales these past months because many of us are waiting...and waiting and waiting....

Please step it up soon and give us REAL answers on the 2000 series availability.

Rattle Rattle,

Gentlemen,

The last time I reported on the status of the 2000 series, I said that the boards are done, but the DLL and windows tuning had to be finished.

The web site now has the tuning software shown as done, and so all that remains is a little housekeeping in the software. So, the goal is to get the parts to the pcb mfg house by the end of this month.

That's the latest info. We are getting closer.

Tom,

I thought it WAS a full servo loop. What is missing that makes it not a full servo loop?

thanks,
