need help and guidance on motor and control for a project
Posted: Wed Aug 24, 2011 10:37 pm
Hay folks, I need help. I need to learn to buid and work with robotic motors and motor controls, I not completely in the dark, I use to be a field service tech on CNC welding Equipment the size of football fields, put the workschedule did not allow for learn much about the deep how it works thingy.
Now that I am disable and have time and a good shop tp do it, I want to get into the real world of things.
Here ruffy what I want to do for my first act of insanity.
------- I have two parallel guide bars in which a device will slide back and forth on.
-------On one end of the two guide bars, they are connected together by a pic of metal with a stop sence switch so if the device come to the end, if it get to the end, will stop and motor control will return it to the other end.
-------on other end I need a motor that pulls a drive with a tape ruler metal band push/pulling the device back and forth along the guide bars.
-------But it also needs to know where the device at all times to positions the device.
My thought here it works simular to a printer moving the head to the correct position to print and where to print or a CNC type of control, but this device does something different
------ I need to learn how to build the motor and drive control to do the work I want above.
If I knew how to draw a ruffy draft of this thing I would put it on the thread, but I do not know how to do it in this forum.
Can you folks give me some good direction here. Please Please pretty Please ???? DC
