4 Z Axis Gantry Function

4 Z Axis Gantry Function

The CT team continues work on the 4Z stage for UBC with motor integration. The 4Z stage is driven with 4 motors, one at each corner increasing mechanical stability. The fixed build plate takes the mechanical load of the manufacturing process while the motors move the tank vertically up around the powder bed. All motors are synced through an EtherCat bus connected to an Omron CPU.
