Photo of a black control panel with a rotary dial knob scaled 0 to 200 with a percent symbol, marked at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 and 200, beside a square power button with a power symbol.
Does anyone know what this is?

This is CNC machine feed regulator.
At 100% the actual feedrate will be that in the code.
With the regulator, you can slow it down, or speed it up.

Thank you so much. Do you know what these lights at the top are for?
Dark panel with a row of eight small indicator lights, three white-lit and five unlit, above a row of rectangular connector ports.
 
I can not say what they are for from what I see here.

how long are you going to just mess us all around by showing us small section pics of some unknown much larger machine ??

your method is very frustrating to everyone
show a pic of the whole machine including its information labels !

else I will suggest to the mentors to lock this thread
