Title: Monorail (Software operated)
Post by: itzrammi on February 03, 2015, 02:03:06 PM

like Taylor spatial frame or hexapod frame, is there something for monorail which can lengthen by software commands ?? And would I be able to get back to work after 5 months for 7cm using Monorail Lon. ..?

I don't think there's any need for software based monorails because they are just used for bone transport or simple lengthening. As far as I'm aware, software-based monorails don't exist. The hexapod uses software to calculate how much each particular strut needs to be turned for very specific angular corrections where bone realignment needs to be very precise.
