Thread: Driving the gantry on Z axis?
Threaded View

10-06-2015 #1
I understand that one of the areas most critical for cutting stability and repeatability is the rigidity of the spindle on the z axis. Has anyone tried to drive the gantry vertically?
This would leave the spindle more rigidly attached to the gantry and reduce the leverage.
Are there any major pitfalls in my thinking?
2 hiwin slides on each gantry post 90deg opposed and ball screw driven.
Any thoughts?
