Why not just use a pneumatic cylinder to do the transverse. Or a variable
speed gearmotor ( ac or dc ) and leadscrew with a limit switch at each end.

Thanks for the responses to my question. Sure, I `can explain further.
Boss comes up and mentions a project to cut two equal slots near the ends of
a 6ft aluminum profile. So we think of cnc and then think that this is so
simple that that is too much. This is for an industrial environment also.
The move is plunge into the cut with pneumatic cyl and then make the move
and back then out of the cut.

I like the idea of the B'port table drive, but that would require some
re-design of the units that you buy and I would not want to subject the shop
to that. But that is a great simple idea that I talked to the boss about.

I like the idea of an electronic type of simple movement. The plc's are
nice but I have never used them and cant relate to what many of you are
telling me.

Any more suggestions out there?
