Q1: Is this monster going to move... and what will it take. My uniformed guess/design notion was something like the camtronics 600 oz/in package or what DaSigntist is using on his machine. Is this pie in the sky given my 100"/min wish, and 200-300 "/min dream? |
You could get by will much smaller servo motors. I run my all aluminum router on 430 oz/in motors and I know it would do just as well with the "Cheap Servo" setup using the 360 oz/in ones. I can get 150 IPM or more with these motors and this is using a 2:1 ratio belt drive setup.
Q2: What are my options for drive mechanism? |
To help with the speed get the .200 pitch ball screw stock from reid tool or McMaster Carr.
