belt on belt/servobelt.

Does anyone have any direct experience of using this system?

I am looking to build a machine based on this principle.

I will have an 8000mm Y axis and a 1600mm X axis gantry.

The machine will be for fabric cutting so light duty and either a tangential pizza wheel cutter or gantry mounted co2 laser, but either way not heavy loads.
It will need good rapids- 0.5-1.0 meters per second.

I am erring towards a tractor belt small loop acting on a glued down base belt rather than 2 full length belts. Seems silly to use twice as much belt as i need.


thanks for your help!
