Re: Mysterious Screw

Hehe, I found one application that I think I need it for.

Need help with this. So for robotics, I'm creating a simple manufacturing workcell that autonomously places sheets of aluminum into a dye and then pneumatics come down to just bend the sheets. What I wanted to use the lead screw and a motor for is to have a custom made vice run on a bed (much like a vice would on a mill) to come forward and make sure the sheet is positioned correctly but I don't know how to set up the lead screw to do this. Also which motor should I use to have the sheet of metal positioned quickly using the vice and screw? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.
