The forum Practical Machinist unfolded феерическое discussion , how to unlock the CNC router, which refuses to function after moving to a new location.
Manufacturer equips machine GPS-sensor and / or gyro. If you move the machine is automatically locked until the unlock code.
Topic starter on Practical Machinist explains that their company bought eight CNC Milling Mori / Ellison NV5000A, and soon transported them to another plant. After this equipment is out of order. The manufacturer explained that this is the new requirement of the American legislation and all future models of CNC milling high-end will be blocked when you move to a new location.
User expresses outrage such "zalochkoy" machines to specific coordinates. He believes that after the purchase of the machine can do with it what you want.
Other colleagues at the forum confirmed that a similar function with a GPS-lock is present on other CNC mills the top class in Japan, including Fraser Citizen. They say that changes in the legislation adopted after one of the Japanese manufacturers caught in нелегальном export of precision equipment in Iran and North Korea, in violation of the embargo.
