Thanks, I'll look into this, key issue will be keeping time and cost down as much as I can (but you can't always have cheap, fast AND quality)

Thanks boss, I have actually seen this one but I'll take a closer look. I am somewhat worried about fabrication for something so complex (honestly even machining for the capstan looks non-trivial) Either way if this has to be done it has to be done Cheers

Thanks for this I'll give it a go. In the gates power design soft When I input my parameters it comes out with options (most with ridiculous pulley sizes or belt widths) but then gives me the "no products available" indicator which is somewhat worrying tbh.

I can't afford harmonic drives unfortunately

Hi All, I'm looking for some advice on this robotic design I'm working on. Mostly with the transmission. The motion of the system is as shown in my little vid below. For reference the links are approx. 1.5m, and one can say there is a 600N point load in the centre of the horizontal link. I...

Thanks Bella, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. We are still in early prototyping but depending on client wishes I may get back to you. Thanks again

Cheers SWC, I do have a company for this but they are based in a different time zone so can be difficult to work together effectively.

Thanks Mech1595, I appreciate it.
