Hi, i am a new member from Ireland, this is my 1st post so hello everyone. I am trying to automate a prototype i am designing for industry so thought i could find some help here. Thanks in advance.
I need to achieve the following, please let me know if this is achievable with lego technic.
Once a switch is made a motor will then start and travel a set linear distance of between 20-300mm then return and stop. The motor would likely need to be clutched in case of any resistance, the motor speed would also need to be variable. I have seen rack and pinion which looks the best option, the switches, motor, gearing, power supply involved i`m not sure about.
I am very new to technic so forgive me for being a novice.
thanks
