I wouldn't need the responsiveness of the servos but if the output would just go 0 - 10V and not fault if the S speed was outside of the inverters programmed limits, I think I'd be happy. Perhaps the part program could pause and display a message box stating "Change spindle gears to A and E, press Enter to continue" like the manual too change does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
