Automation Scope Table

Automation Scope Table

Automation Scope Table

(OP)
Hello,

I want to make a movement table for a scope. I basically just want two axis movements, one in Z (vertically) and one in Y (Horizontally perpendicular to the user), don't need X movement.

Z movement = 80mm so 40mm up & 40mm down.

Y Movement = 40mm so 20 left & 20 right.

Just wondering are there any off shelf mechanism with motors or actuators and a table (150mm x 150mm square) that I can buy?

The weight on them will be around 15-20 kg and with a SF of 4 they will be about 80kg. The space is a bit tight as above, if nothing works out I am going to use some gears and motors and make the table (hopefully not too expensive).

Any suggestions and advice would be great.

Thanks
