Planning to build fabric cutter
Hi everybody first post :wave:
Since i dont have $30k to spend on a fabric cutter i plan to build my own like this one... (Carlson Pro)
Carlson Design – Plotter Cutters – Pro Plotter Cutter
Since this will be my first build i need some advice on motor and drivers.
X-axis is driven by 2 motors - one at each end of gantry, direct drive on track.
Y-axis is 1 motor - direct drive on gantry track.
Z-axis will be pneumatic up/down.
Tangential control of cutter head will be motor driven.
See vid in above link for details.
What i need is some advice on what type and size of motors and drives to use, from one of you more experienced guys.
Any ideas out there ?
Cheers
Jakob
Re: Planning to build fabric cutter
Did you ever complete your fabric cutter plotter?
If you completed your machine...what software controller and cam software did you use?
