Can I use the XY positioner vertical instead of horizontal?
In short YES, if you’ll watch the weight of the payload. Ususally this works best with payoads of 1 lb or less. You’ll need our larger MD-2b motor control system to supply the needed torque, and a PR23-2.5 pulley reducer (2.5:1 ratio). You can also reduce the affects of gravity on your system by counterbalancing the payload like an elevator, or by using a spring-loaded tool balancer.
