I have never let it worry me too much. Though I do have a bunch of Zeiss probes from a CMM that incorporate a piezo element as well as the kinematic Renishaw-style thing. (I have not bothered to work out how to use the Piezo part) One problem with aligning the spindle is that the cable would get wrapped up :-) Many of the non-cable systems only work in one orientation. Though those are becoming less common, I think. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
