I don't think this uses GPS. A high-end CNC machine would have about 0% chance of seeing any GPS satellites.
Even the linked thread said it uses gyros without mentioning GPS.
- yaddayadda 13y agoThe linked thread actually does have a couple, albiet tenuous, mentions of GPS: - "All of our Citizen swiss lathes have the same GPS feature." (http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/dmg-mori-gildemeister-maho-cnc/mori-ellison-gyroscope-unlocking-273841/#post2141101) - "Why can't they simply check for "Out of USA" or "in $BannedCountry now"? They do have GPS, right?" (http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/dmg-mori-gildemeister-maho-cnc/mori-ellison-gyroscope-unlocking-273841/#post2141382)
- spyder 13y agoI agree, and if it would use GPS then they could do the blocking only if it leaves the country, so probably the sensor is just a simpler accelerometer.
