Belt driven linear stage

[velmex12]

That is not the motor controller. It is a DRO -- digital readouts. It's connected to a linear encoder. It is an absolute because it is connected to the carriage. Maximum resolution is 1 µ

the noise is that of the stepping motor. Stepping motors have a characteristic sound that some people find objectionable.

why is that too NOISE

[Bobwraps]

I am trying to build a linear slide like the one you have on this video. It will be a multi slide system as a pick and place. I have a small business and would like to make it easier on the person stacking paper sheets. Can you help me on the software that runs you system?

that is what we call fast wow

[wtimber]

is that from a band printer?

[salzahrah]

how do you control the speed at which it goes and how far it travels?

where can i buy this

[felderup]

@salzahrah is either a stepper motor, you tell how many steps to step, control speed of steps, or is servo, with servo, there's a device to measure where it is, so can control it that way.

[velmex12]

@felderup It is a stepping motor. as you imply, you can program it to move at a given rate of steps per second with our programmable controller.

What kind of bearings are you using on that slide?

[velmex12]

@adisharr It is our BiSlide assembly. You can read more about BiSlide at our website, Velmex.com
