Just that--DAD's specifically. We did it with a selected Micropolis
worm-screw positioner drive driven through a 100:1 reduction. Pattern
generation was done with an microcontroller adapted for the purpose.
The whole shebang was mounted on a 3/4" thick aluminum plate. It was
good enough to produce DADs for field use.
I wonder if the mech out of a Drivetech drive could be similarly adapted.
