optical pattern tracers
how do those optical pattern tracers follow a line?
I saw an old one back about 20 years ago. I don't think that it had any "high tech" stuff like CCD cameras or digital controls. Servos maybe. The one I saw had an 'eye' that would turn as it went around the pattern. Any one know how they worked. And how the tracer controlled the speed of the X and Y drive motors to maintain speed at the torch as it went around. -- Dan H. |
