LARGE Gantry table

on 2004-03-09 13:52:57 UTC
Can someone point me in the direction of suppliers for motors/drives
for LARGE gantry machines... I'm talking 20'x40' cutting area. Off
the top of my head, I'm guessing the gantry might way a half ton or
more. I'm very familiar with smaller steppers/servos, I just don't
quite understand where/what route you take when talking about large
machines that need significant torque to make a 1000lb gantry change
directions on a dime. It seems you need an ac servo that would run
off of signicantly more power than a gecko or similar can provide.
Any help/links would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
