Here is a 20' long MechMate <-----link
The length of table is virtually unlimited since all the intelligent motors and electrics sit on the gantry - the table is very dumb. Once you go over about 12ft long, start thinking of more legs bolted to a concrete floor.....or, increasing material cross-sections of the longitudnal frames. The costs escalate for the steel, but also for the cables, cable carrier (e-chains are not essential), gear racks. Handling a dust collection hose of that length could become a big problem. If you have a lot of ceiling height above, you could think of suspending a hose (plus the cables)...... |
