X-y table with joystick, controllers, and power supply


The X-Y table has about 5 3/4" of travel on each axis. The lead screws have a pitch of 1/4" of travel for each turn of the screw. The motors are made by Pittman, model number GM9234S022. They have a 38.3:1 gear reduction. When the joystick is moved all the way, it takes about 30 seconds for the table to move the entire travel of 5 3/4". The table has limit switches on both axis but I did not wire them into the control.
The H-bridge drivers give proportionality to the movement. The farther the joystick is moved from the center position, the faster the table moves. This gives a lot of control over the table position because it can be moved very slowly with a small deflection of the stick. The drivers are made by Centent, model number CN0121A.
The joystick, besides controlling the X and Y axis, also has the ability to control a Z axis by rotating the knob and it can give an on/off command by pushing a momentary button on top of the stick.
Everything is powered from a 15vdc power supply that plugs into a standard 110vac outlet.
