Hi Trent,
I see your point regarding the plate, as you guessed I want to make the unit as solid as possible, so I can achieve the maximum available precision from the parts used, I added the plate to give rigidity to the bridge, so this way I avoid torsion, and as an added benefit it isolates the leadscrew from the debris generated by the machine.
Regarding the end of the extrusions I drawn it like that because I was told over the phone that the local Rexroth shop didn't have the proper saw to cut the extrusions, but yesterday afternoon I went to talk to them (B.Rexroth local branch) and they told me that if they can't locally, they order the parts cutted directly from Germany at no extra cost if necesary (or machine them after the cut with a mill here)
They gave me the full catalogs and tips on which conectors to use between extrusions , so as you may guess again, im back to the drawing
let me know what you think
The update to the log is that all the parts from the 1st post are on the mail already
Thanks
Pablo
