Hello JonnyFive, finally have you done the assembly of 2 x 120x80 suggested in the discussion or do you stay with 160 x 80 ?

Hi Gustave, I haven’t done any assembly yet, I haven’t been able to spend any time on the project recently and I’m still tweaking the design. I will be using the 120x80 when I get around to it, the maths says it will be a lot stiffer.

Cheers.

Thank you, I think I will also going on L shape based on 120x80.
I am designing a nearby machine and I have the same R&P and ball-screw dilem ! For the moment I think going on ball-screw for price (Fred BST), precision, easy to achieve. The X is 1800mm length and I plan to use 2 x 2510 ball screws. I bought servos motors (Simdrive AC system 750W, Holding Torque (N.m)
2.4, Peak Torque (N.m) : 7.2, Rated Speed (rpm) : 3000) and I hesitate between direct drive or the use of pulley with a ratio 2: 1. Do you have any advice for me?
