And scanners = there was a member here on the 'Zone a few days/weeks back that was going to do a similar approach - his idea was to use as a painting/drawing xy(slight z) system on canvases. The X fixed per "normal methods" and X' was to be supported by a roller. Seems like it ought to work well for low loads on Z - like a vinyl cutter though!
Best of Luck - Jim
