Hi Craig,
I'll go take a look at the EMC site. Our schedule for the CMM is pretty
aggressive but we really do have a top notch team working on thst and
although we may miss our target date it won't slip by more than a few
weeks. The Waldrich Siegen Unimach HBM is going to take many months
just to clean up and erect, so we won't even get to start the
retrofit until 6 months from now. I'll feel really good if we can get
it up and running by the end of 2011.

There have been a number of posts on the EMC (enhanced machine control)
(open source machine control software) about your effort.
You might find some of these posts interesting and possibly useful.
Most posts think your schedule way to optomistic, some include
reasons for thinking so. I'll forward a couple interesting ones to
you if you'd like. I think the comments worth reading as many of
these guys have extensive machine shop experience and just might
save you some grief.
My background is aerospace systems engineering and do some hobby
work on a CNC router.

Hi Craig,
I haven't been able to find any posts on the sites I found:
linuxCNC.org and cnczone.com/emc, are there other sites I've missed? If
you would be so kind as to send a pointer, that would be great.
Thanks,
Jim

Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances
and start using them to simplify application deployment and
accelerate your shift to cloud computing.
