RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Plasma table gear reduction - Motioneering

Dave,
No problem.
The info doesn't have to be exact...a good guess will often do.

I will need the following:
1) the max speed you would like
2) the min corner radius at that speed you would like
3) the moving mass (weight will do) of the largest axis
4) Some idea of the friction (just saying it is recirculating ball ways or
box ways etc will do)
5) whether you are going to make only one of these

That will put some real numbers with real motor specs.
We will see what works out with the best overall economy.

Les

Thanks Les,

I'll have to add a columnm for weight in the spreadsheet for the
parts to determine the weights of the gantry.

Probably be a week with the holidays and all.
