I’m trying to develop a holder for a sharpie that will be actuated linearly by a small 12v solenoid (triggered via a crossfire torch controller) since I’m still waiting for my table , can anyone provide me with the approximate dimensions of:
distance between the tops of the slats and the bottom of the torch holder (fully down)
distance between the tops of the slats and the bottom of the torch holder (fully up)
-thickness of the material on the torch holder
if round - a diameter of the opening on the torch holder (closed and open)
(some pictures of the torch holder area will be useful as well)
also if langmuir can provide info on the capacity of the relay that controls firing of the torch , can that handle 12v/1a ?
The crossfire uses a low power Reed relay to close the contact for the torch. Mine was a OMR-M-105H Reed relay. This could be different on your machine. From what I remember the relay was only good for 25ma or so at 5 volts. 12 volts was half of that.
If you want to put a solenoid on the machine you might need an additional relay for the solenoid. Someone on the forum has already put a marker attachment on the crossfire.
