ABSTRACT:
A multi-axes positioning system is described, such as used in X-Y plotters, including an X-carriage movable on a frame along the X-axis, a Y-carriage movable on the frame along the Y-axis, and a single closed loop trained over a plurality of guide wheels. Some of the guide wheels are located on the frame on opposite sides of both the X- and Y-carriages, and others are located on the carriages themselves, on opposite sides thereof, and are arranged such that the single closed loop can be used for positioning the object along either two or three axes, according to single-motor, two-motor, or three-motor modes of operation.
