Hood: Thanks for the info.   My thought was to use servo motors with auxiliary feedback with the glass scales mounted to the table and quill.  -Rennie

General Mach Discussion / Closed Loop System on Mach 3?

« on: February 10, 2009, 04:08:14 PM »

Hi there, I'm new to CNC.  I'm interested in Mach 3.  I have two questions: 

1) Can I use glass scales for closed loop machining feedback during maching.  The manual mentions they can be connected to for manual DRO. 

2) Is there a post-processor available for VisualMill?  I'm considering using this software to convert Solidworks models for machining.

Thanks, Rennie

p.s. Sorry for the accidetnal Poll I sent.  I'm new to thie discussion group thing!
