Thanks for your welcome guys, been working a little bit in the dark until now I suppose.
I have a bit of a problem doing that because my ballscrews are under the machine, therefore the gantry is driven from under the rails.Add at least two more vertical pieces on either side of the frame to better support the rails - it will make a huge difference.
Yep, I did have a 4nm nema 23 but I thought it would be way underpowered for the 2510 ballscrew...Is that a 12Nm motor on Y?!
Your rotating ballnut designs are impressive, but I'm slowly realising that this might be more complicated than I first thought... I don't really want to go to rack and pinion now I have the ballscrews and nuts... however its driving me nuts!!
The design I first attached was found by just searching for "rotating ballnut" in google. I first liked it because its very compact and maximises the travel of the ballscrew, which is important if I want to be able to to cut 8' x 4'
I have 2 x 12Nm nema 34's for the X (1 for each ballscrew), do you think I would get away with the rotating ballnut I found with my motors?. I know with them being bigger motors that the moment of inertia is greater than say a 4Nm, but I plan to drive them with 68V 8A drives.
