| No personal experience, but... $129 per axis? And USB or serial via a proprietary ASCII command set so you are locked into their software? How is Mach 3 or EMC2 or whatever going to command that? It's closed loop, which is nice but all that means is that you know if it misses a step sooner... and a well designed system shouldn't ever miss a step so... I've never really seen the point in closed loop. I'm probably missing some major point here but I don't think that is a good fit. |
