They would need to be toothed pulleys (no slippage allowed!). You would need to completely retune your axis with each belt setting. I guess you could have multiple profiles in MACH3 and just select the one with the right tuning. The Steps per Unit would be different as well as the velocity and acceleration settings. If you used sets that would give you the same approximate belt length and had a belt tensioning method I don't see why it wouldn't work. Might let you use smaller motors and drive components on a given table. |
