Final stage of the investigation

This is the final stage of the investigation. There are a few questions left to answer on the flexibility of your application. Also, you should review the information compiled from your investigation so far.

1. Specify the transmission being used in the axis.
 
A direct-drive motor such as a Kollmorgen Direct-Drive Linear (DDL) or Direct-Drive Rotary (DDR).
 
A shafted motor with geared transmission components such as a gearbox, belt/pulley set and/or lead screw.
 
A shafted motor without a geared transmission; the only transmission components are shaft and couplings.

2. Specify the flexibility you have in this application.

  Cost Flexibility
Please rate your level of flexibility in considering changes that may raise the cost of your system
 
I can consider changes that have only MINMAL impact on cost.
 
I can consider changes that have only MODERATE impact on cost
 
I can consider all changes, independent of cost impact.

  Time Flexibility
Please rate your level of flexibility in considering changes that may require time to implement
 
I can consider changes that require only a MINIMAL amount of time to implement.
 
I can consider changes that require only a MODERATE amount of time to implement.
 
I can consider all changes, independent of implementation time.
