Threaded View

Hello,
Just starting to work out what I need my machine to do, trying to work out what the best type of machine is for my application. (moving gantry or move the work in x - y and have a fixed support for the z) Has anyone got some advice please, given that I would like it to be able to have these sort of spec's?
Working area 600mm x 500mm (needs to take 19" rack front panels)
Mostly cutting plastic and thin (1.2mm) Aluminium But Some panels are 5mm aluminium.
Been thinking that moving the work in the x-y directions may be easier and would be able to use supported rails, but would make the machine much bigger.
Thank you For any advice
Kev
