I need to set up a liquid gasket applicator. A simple xyz gantry would work, but would be bulky for the task. If I controlled it with a pushrod on xy, with the dispenser hung on a pivot at the top, the system could be lightweight and won't need as much rigidity since I won't be moving as all the weight. (My first thought was rc servos, which I have used elsewhere successfully but with steppers I don't have to figure out the pulsing in linuxcnc)
So, can the kinematics be set up to handle the arcs of the pushrod control, but still provide cartesian positioning?
Thanks
