Hi there,
I'm looking for help assessing the usability of a Parker linear actuator I bought for use as my z axis.
Im building a mechmate wood router. I've completed the base which I've made extra heavy (1700 lb) in hopes of increasing speed and accuracy. 97% of the time I'll be cutting wood.
I purchased a Parker actuator, somewhat impulsively, at an auction near my house. My thought was this would potentially save me time and money from having to fabricate my own however I'm not sure if it is robust enough for what I'm seeking to do.
It has 12" travel. I've attached the spec sheet on it.
Any help regarding the usability of this would be greatly appreciated.
