Hi
I have just started building a plasma table to take 1/2 a sheet in England thats 1250mm x 1250mm, I have designed it with 1350mm travel on X & Y and 140mm on Z, with 200mm hight between track and table.
the plan is to use a 25mm rail with a rack and pinnion drive on "Y" with a 424oz-in 23 size motor. On "X" Im going to use cam follower bearings on 75mm CRS runners with a twin rack and motors set up on the outside the same motors as Y, and a Merchant dice YZTR for "Z"
I have only made the bridge and mounts at the moment from 60x60x4mm box, I went for 4mm so I could get good tapped holes for all the brackets,
any comments or advise will be welcome.
sorry abouy the state of my workshop,
Steve
