Okay, let me first start out by saying, very arrogantly, that my cnc>your cnc I am so very happy!!

I "acquired" an industrial grade pick and place robot sporting 2 5phase 350W stepper motors, direct belt drive, 0.01mm accuracy according to it's manual, 2100N nominal load bearings and 2m/s traverse speeds. I also got the controller and stuff! I made a small (9.8Mb) movie of it doing some rapids.

I still need to make some proper interface between the controller and my turbocnc pc and need to make an up to par Z-axis, but I am so happy I could just dance all day. Which I will. Starting now. :banana: :banana:
