Atari8bitCarts Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 It has come into my possession some parts and software what appears to be used for industrial CNC operations? I'm hoping that someone remembers this or knows who the developer is. I will add more pictures of the hardware shortly. Developer: Mark Wang Year: 1984 Title: Automatic Downfeed Company: A.M.W. Inc.

Atari8bitCarts Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 No CNC equipment, Industrial use. The settings discuss feed, spark, infeed, and position. The person I received this from pulled it from a factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 ok, I got more information from them: I just coulrn't bring myself to throw it in the garbage. I work on cnc machinery for a living and I had never seen, nor heard of one. The unit you have was utilized to control 1 servo/stepper axis motion on a surface grinder mfg by Proth(taiwan) the controller was mfg by a company called AMW. thats all I know.

Atari8bitCarts Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Some of the hardware for the CNC machine. It also had a bare 800 motherboard, power PCB, and ROM/RAM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 There's a little snippet about it here in the attached user's group newsletter -- just search for "Wang". xiomayjun97.pdf Fascinating, yet depressing, look at the death of the Atari Users group scene after 1996. Current Notes was published in Canada? Am I missing something here? I thought that that was the newsletter of the DC area group. I feel that I need to phone those old members to clarify some of this information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+David_P Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 As I recall, Current Notes was taken over by a crew from TAF, the Toronto Atari Federation, at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
