For this assignment, we choosed a simple module that consisted of a leadscrew that had a single axis toolholder mounted on it. This screw would be turned within its axis due to a motor installed.

This preliminary design accommodates a tool and toolholder not exceeding 5lbs. The choice for lead screw was 2 start, ½ - 10 ACME lead screw. The motor of choice to drive this operation is a NEMA 23 stepper motor which supplies sufficient torque to move the load rapidly and accurately.

Things not considered/oversights in this preliminary design:

-Guide rods with bearings to distribute load

-Any control systems mounting, routing

-NEMA 23 coupling for the lead screw

-Appropriate bearing, and mounting configuration at non motor end.
