Hi,
I'm currently designing a new machine; ideally I want everything kept inside the machine footprint. I have been thinking about using a belt drive system for my X axis, this should enable me to keep the motor from sticking out of the machine like you see on many machines.
What I would like to know is, what are the benefits of using a belt drive system, is there any down falls to using belts, dose using a belt drive system change anything significantly that it needs to be highlighted or mentioned..Me
