this was a big concern for problems we encountered on an earl cnc project we
did at work

one solution we never applied was a motor-generator -- actually a
motor-alternator, if you will.

the thought was, in the event of a power fluctuation (not actual loss of
power), the power would come from the alternator side of the unit, and the
flywheel action would smooth out any minor variations.

I've been trying to convince the boss we need a CNC mill. We are
located in the Ozarks in Arkansas and have unreliable power in our
area(that would be Arkansas). My boss's big complaint against CNC's is
this power supply problem A fella down the road with a CNC mill is
constantly having problems because of the unreliable power. I want to
know can what the power company sends us be filtered or backeup
somehow to give us reliable, clean AC? Backuped would be for the
numerous blimps and short power outages. Not the day after day without
power we get out here.
