In this context every new startup machine tool maker faces the market unawareness - people do not know it, so are not very trustful, not to say more. That is one of my problems, regardless what particular CNC controller I use. I think that LinuxCNC still helps in this context, because I can say that it runs thousands of machines for decade and more, instead of 4 machines and the first one not being even 1 year old... What I see about LinuxCNC is that sometimes people get afraid of LinuxCNC when they hear it is opensource, which means that nobody owns it and thus there is nobody to hold responsible for something. That is the only drawback of opensource I have seen so far. Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
