Are there any cnc tecnitions in the house? The company I work for is going cnc
and I was wondering what Special tools, meters or scopes are used to test or
repair a cnc machine.

e-groups and is called CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO It originally was started as a hobby
oriented group and that is still the intent, but it has quite a number of
pros that have been very helpful. I have found it to be far more on topic
than the newsgroup with far less of the "I'm a pro and don't bug me with
your stupid newbie question" attitude that I seem to see so often on the
below newsgroup. You can access this mailing list at:

The first thing is to make certain you have ALL of the documentation for the
machines, especially the manuals for the controllers and the electrical
wiring diagrams. These will be your biggest help. A good Digital Multimeter
is also a necessity, Fluke makes very good ones. Get one that will test for
frequency and will also test logic levels (Hi - Lo) that can often come in
handy when you don't want to haul out the scope. Also at times an
oscilloscope is required for checking encoder pulses etc. The best of both
of these worlds would be a Fluke ScopeMeter, it is an oscilloscope AND
Digital Meter combined in one instrument. They cost somewhere from $1500 to
around $2000 or so.
Of course you will need the normal wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers etc. that
you probably already have.
Hope this helps,
Randy
P.S. CNC industrial woodworking machinery is my speciality. I have been
doing that for the last 16 years or so.

Of course if you watch ebay you can get one for about 2/3 to 1/3 of the
price of a new one. That's what I did when I purchased my 96B. I then
decided that to protect my investment I would order the hard carrying
case (part number C97B) to store my scopemeter in. Well, the case came
yesterday and I was a little disappointed -- the molded plastic near the
hinge hits the yellow holster on the meter when I try to shut the case.
There is about a 1" gap at the front. I can force it shut and get it to
latch, but am concerned about long term reliability -- will the case
hinge and the meter both hold up? Does anyone have any experience with
this?
Thanks,
Aaron
this on a few piced of equipment.

We had to abandon the hard case you are talking about with the scopemeters we
had, they just didn't hold up. We ended up using the small laptop cases to
carry the units and all of the accessories.
