Need to figure out the hardware required and cost. Yeah, old obsolete pattern follower torches - suddenly becoming sought after for CNC plasma cutter conversion. ;-) Now I'm thinking it needs a semi-active tension system using a computer controlled 3rd motor but with a spring so it doesn't have to be super precise in following the two 'rigidly' (in tension) connected to the end of the arm. I wonder how this would handle a water jet, would have to strengthen/accurize the arm pivots. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
