Re: Hydrualic axis control
No reason why not, in the 80's Robert Bosch outlined the idea of a CNC control with proportional valves with linear encoder feedback.
Also in 1993 Universal Studios used servo valves in a simulated 8.3 earthquake attraction in the Florida theme park.
The technology is out there.
There was also a company that came out with a stepper controlled spool for precise control, and many CNC pipe bender manuf use the Hyd proportional valve technology today in their machines.
Nothing really new.
