Boun Giorno to the Cognoscenti:
Our non-profit, veteransinitiatives.org nee 'VITAL', is a 501, C-19,
whose members compose a mouthy collection of gun-totin', somewhat
irreverent (somewhat?) reprobates who have defended our priceless Nation.
We are composed of machinists, chemists, mechanics, patternmakers,
electroplaters, welders & 1 metallurgist (you never want more than 1 of
them in your rabble!)
Our mission is to teach
the elements of mfg technology to our most deserving citizen, our DisAbled
American Veteran (DAV) & our ambulatory Paralyzed Veteran (PVA), so they
may obtain career employment in our Nation's mfg sector. this is a
'thinly-veiled program' to save lives; that is, the lives of MilVets who
have returned from the 'killing fields'.
For the last 4 years we have been moving machinery (~35 tons) from our
shop in CA, to the primitive, eastern territory of Nevada; this is mining
country: Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Rh, W ........
We have several machines we wish to convert to 4-axis NC. one of these
monsters is a Monarch 75 VMC, equipped with ~100 lb servos. we have removed
the GE-550 'refrigerator'.
Could your 'cognoscenti' explain the process of adapting the Linux/EMC
to our machines? is this system a NC controller, does it resemble the
contemporary NC controllers such as the Pico, Centroid, Mesa & MACH-3
systems? does it contain similar hardware: encoders, tachos, amps, A/D, D/A
converters, zero-crossing detectors & a motherboard?
Or does it consist only of software?
Please be as specific as you might,with your recommendations.
May our Lord protect our valiant warriors,
dominic francisco
