    Don't overthink the way covers they don't need to have scissor mechanisms. Just let them slide so push-pull each other in and out. Many industrial machines use this method and it works fine, the Fadal machine I have here just uses the push-pull method. Your welcome to look at or copy these covers which are off the machine.

    I'll take some pictures for you to see how they are made up.

    Do you have any experience of Linux CNC.? If not then get ready for a massive learning curve because with servos and closed-loop it's a different ballgame to Steppers. I'm very experienced with lots of controllers and I'm struggling big time with Linux CNC. Luckily I've got a Linux Guru in my camp working on it, hey Clive S . .
