Control box rebuild

[john swift]

if I remember correctly a post on cnczone showed a control box with the cable going through a strain relief instead of the more usual plug & socket

this has the advantage of reducing the number of joints

but the possible down side is damage to the driver if you to unplug the connector from the driver very often

while some of the problems are due to cheap copies of the green connectors being used (I can not remember the original manufacturer)

you will find examples burnt connectors in both cheep chinese machines and on the Leadshine 3nd883 drivers used by Tormach
