My thinking is: the less weight the motors have to move around, the better off you are (low torgue motors are less expensive?). Therefore, in my design, the motors would remain stationary in relation to the main table; only the foam would move in one axis and the wire in the other.
Also the less resistance the motors (lower torgue) encounter moving the wire is relevant also. Of course, with foam cutters, there inherently is little of this.
I believe I'm correct in this? |
