The Linde machines usually have a very heavy gantry which poses problems when going to Plasma.
This is one I retro-fitted for the Gas cutting system.

As it was I went 100:1 reduction for the X axis, but lower ratio and larger motor would be needed for Plasma, If the weight could be reduced, it would help.
