ok.

marry christmas and happy new year to all of you .

i finished my first machine and its working fine now.( thanks for all your help and support)

now i will be desging a new machine
machine size will be about 10` x 6`, raised gantry , with rotaty axis

1. servo motors volvo penta 350watt (and these are really really heavy).
2. Uli servo drives.
3. step motor 200z with gecko drive for the rotary axis (A-axis)

the table will be made mostly of aluminum and few steel pieces .
i will use it either for plasma cutting or foam routing only, no metals or wood.

now , i am thinking of using either belt driven system / chain and sprocket or just a steel wire .

for the x-axis , i will make the belt or whatever be from 1 side only and not in the middle so that i can have space for the rotating axis.

can i please have your feedback on my new machine setup ?

ballscrew or lead screw is not an option here, as shipping to my country will cost more than buying a ready made machine

thanks all
:wee:
