Hey gang - I'm looking for anyone who has experience using multiple linear motors doing synchronous motions (i.e. 'electronically geared' motions, like a CNC.)
I've used SMAC 'Moving Coil' linear actuators in the past, and I'm using two LinMot motors right now in a non-synchronous manner, but I'd love to hear if anyone has ever used 3+ linear motors in synchronous motions. What brand, type, etc.
I think I remember hearing that a couple of EDM manufacturers are using linear motors, but those would really only be 2-axis systems, right?
Is anyone out there even doing anything like this that anyone is aware of? I've been asking the almighty Google, but I'm not coming up with anything.
Thanks All!
