The cost of these Lichaun servos is about what you'd have paid a Korean scrappie for a set of used Yaskawa Sigma 5 or 6 from 15 years ago. Speaking from experience. And of course they are essentially Yaskawa / Panasonic clones.

I thought I'd go for the new Lichaun option this time. I'm not exactly an OEM developing a volume product, so what have I got to lose? Well, my bollocks, hanging from the washing line 2 weeks from now, now that I think about it.
