The Y Beam
The Y beam is a carbon fiber epoxy structure. This material has an
advantageous combination of good mechanical properties and low weight. It
is used for very stiff and light structures within sports equipment, aerospace,
and medical equipment. The beam perform all movements in the Y direction.
The beam is mounted on two linear guides on the machine frame. It is powered
by a magnetic, linear motor, see the The X Wagon section.
The accuracy of the beam's movement is ensured by the use of a linear encoder
system. This system use a linear scale on the frame and readheads on the beam.
Be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the surface of the linear scale.
Scratching the surface may alter the machine's precision.
