The X and Y axes of the machine are driven by toothed timing belts. This method of drive has multiple advantages over lead-screw drives: it is economical, has zero backlash, is very tolerant of small misalignment between components, can easily achieve high speed motion, and provides adequate levels of accuracy and precision.
