Design And Implementation Of A Two-axes Linear Positioning System For Rapid Prototyping Applications

In this study, a two axes linear positioning system for testing and applying different rapid prototyping techniques was designed and manufactured. A cable/ pulley mechanism is utilized in the system for transmitting motion from motors into linear motion. Use of a cable/ pulley mechanism overcomes the problems resulting from the utilization of conventional drive systems like ball screws and decreases the
overall cost of the system.
The carriage elements of both axes were designed and manufactured by using investment casting. The molds used in casting were also designed and manufactured within this study. The designed system is controlled by a servo motion control system composed of a motion controller, DC servo motors and linear encoders. All elements of the motion control system were selected, integrated and programmed
within the scope of the study.
