I agree on the argument leading the question above. Servo's are fun but it's overkill for your application. Well, if you get them for free why not, if you pay - use steppers and spend the budget on the sprayer instead. But to return to the original question, I run servo's with 6 m cables with no problem. But you need good cables and good encoders. If you do have quality cables (and encoders) the cables can be much longer than that. My friend has a servo based system big enough to mill a complete boat hull, I would estimate the cable length to more than 15 m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
