Just that--DAD's specifically. We did it with a selected Micropolis worm-screw positioner drive driven through a 100:1 reduction. Pattern generation was done with an microcontroller adapted for the purpose. The whole shebang was mounted on a 3/4" thick aluminum plate. It was good enough to produce DADs for field use. I wonder if the mech out of a Drivetech drive could be similarly adapted. --Chuck
