Checked that the solid works file loaded - successful. Will review in detail later
Researched Prior Work. Will build upon prior torch mounting systems of hose clamps holding a modified torch head. Learned the stepper motors move the gantry using rack and pinions.
The prior flying gantry used two rails in parallel to stabilize rotation. From the model, v2 of the Torch the flying gantry will slide on one rail so some suitable bracking will need to happen.
Changes to consider in tool head design.
Standards for oxy-acetylene systems: Threading is 1/4 NPT, LH threading for acetylene connections. Valves should be "grease-less" for prevention of combustible contaminants
