Hi, Thanks for the replies and info.
I ran the numbers on the belt drive - surprisingly strong belt needed actually. I was kind of surprised at the width needed compared to what people commonly use, so I am still double checking my calculations to see if they are reasonable.
I guess the alternative to the screw mapping approach is closed loop positioning from a linear encoder, but I have no idea how to approach that beast, or the budget impact.
Thanks
Harry
