Aerotech_XY_Table

This repository is for the XY table donated to us by the project lab in fall 2013.

The documentation, Solidworks models, and datasheets can be found here.

Upon initial reading of the documentation, the stages are extremely precise, with 2mm/rev ballscrews and 4000 steps per revolution stepper motors. I don't know if they come with an encoder just yet, but my guess is that they do.

Because of their precision, I would recommend that this table be used in a PCB milling project. Keep in mind that because of their precision, we possibly cannot use them with Gen7/RAMPS or any ardruino-based controller. The computing load to send 2000 steps per mm would be too high (and that's with no microstepping!). We should consider Smoothieboard or a similar product.
