Circular Track System

[thomasnwalshiii]

Hi,

I am trying to build a scanning system and need a circular track that has an 8 to 10 foot radius. The load on the track will be low, at most 20 lbs, and the cart system that rides on this track will be manually positioned. Does anyone here know of any company that produces circular track systems of this size? The track must be made of multiple sections as I need to fit it through a standard size doorway. The tighter the tolerance the better but I should be able to calibrate any offsets out of my measurements as long as they are repeatable.

Thanks in advance for any advice,
Tom

You might get the Bishop-Wisecarver folks

to custom-make you some of their v-track components of that size.

Thanks for the suggestion TygerDawg. I will try to contact them in regards to this. From looking at their site it seems that they build systems and for their rotary setup they use HepcoMotion components. I've been in contact with them and THK and am waiting to hear back some prices. Here are the links to the custom large diameter tracks if anyone is interested: THK (

and HepcoMotion (

Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well!
