| Manxmodder:
Shipto, just watched the video.I love a good contraption,and this is a wonderful contraption :clap: :clap: ......OZ. |
| shipto:
Thank you nelson I would be interested to see what you have and thank you manxmodder the contraption should be ready to be brought into full operation pretty soon. I am talking to a guy about controlling that Y axis and he may be able to donate a surplus to requirement plc for me to play with :D |

I'd just use a starwheel on a threaded shaft every time it passes over the wheel it advances by how many pins turn the rod. |
| tom osselton:
something like this principal It would not be hard to setup on a table with setable reversing switches to control travel and the feed rate would just be set by the number of cogs and the pitch of the thread. The table going back and forth for two passes would advance it one step sideways the cogs would have to have a ratchet effect also. |
| shipto:
I was thinking of a mechanical solution at first tom but after much thinking I decided this was by far the easiest way to do this part of the build, didnt expect to have a pcl to play with though was thinking arduino would be used (may still use arduino as I have never used a pcl before and not sure about programming it) |
