Hi!

Just curious whether anyone out there has experience with an
Olivetti Sigma 3 series robot.  They were sold by Westinghouse
a few years back.  They are a cartesian coordinate, gantry style
industrial robot with two or three manipulators.  Processing
power is a DEC KD-11.

I'm trying to get one running that was donated to our Industrial
Engineering Dept.  It sort of works, but it would be nice to
hear tips and tricks to get it fully operational or keep it that
way!

Thanks!

Paul
