I am looking for a solution to having 2 axis xy motion and rotation about the z axis. The idea is to move a 30-40 pound optical device into a certain x-y position then lock it in place.
A stage is great for precision but it is hard to make coarse adjustments quickly.
Some ideas I came up with:
- A ball bearing table, similar to "transfer tables" used in warehouses, then figure out a way to lock it's position
- Perpendicular rails with set screws to lock the position for planar xy movement and a lazy susan for z rotation.
Are there other ideas or solutions out there that might be what I'm looking for?
