  • X (left-right): 12" (~300 mm)
  • Y (front-back): 7" (~170 mm)
  • Z (up-down): 5" (~120 mm)
• Movement speed
  • Rapid positioning
    • • XY: 400 IPM (~160 mm/s)
      • Z: 20 IPM (~8 mm/s)
  • Tracing
    • • Speeds limited by acceleration, recommended 50 IPM (~20 mm/s)
      • Recommended acceleration value: TBD
• Accuracy: estimated 0.04" (1 mm) +/- depending on movement speed
