[Emc-users] seiberco stepper drive
A friend of mine is having trouble with his OMAX waterjet.I looked at the drives and can find no infromation on them.They are model AIMAX 260-70-X. This is a mid 90s machine and the computer has failed.He asked me if LinuxCNC would run it,and I told him I was pretty sure it would. OMAX wants $5000 for a new computer and if you want tech help with putting it in that will be an extra 5000. They must only want to sell new waterjets not have anybody fix old ones. Anyway has anybody ever used these drives?
