Need some help with a moving desk

Good day,

We are currently in the process of planning a project and are in need of a quotation and expert advice from your team.

Enclosed herewith, please find detailed specifications of our desk, which we are keen to equip with automatic wheels, allowing seamless movement both forward and backward.

The key features we are seeking in the proposed solution include:

  1. Activation via a button, programmable to facilitate automatic stopping.
  2. Immobile unless the designated button is engaged (incorporating a brake mechanism).
  3. Ensured stability solely on the wheels.
  4. The designated workspace for the wheels/system is confined to a height of 20cm and dimensions of 60cm by 60cm in width.
  5. Exclusive forward and backward movement, always in synchronized motion.

Good day and welcome to our forum!

This sounds like an interesting project, but there are a lot of things that are unknown.

For example, have you already choose the motors and the wheels? How do you plan to control these? What is your budget for this project?

How heavy is this desk and what speed do you need? Have you already seen some similar projects online?

Thank you.

Hey Igor,

It needs to be stable. doesnt need to be really quick at all.

It should be activated by a button and stop at a certain point.

We the weight it will be around 500kg

Based on these things I would like to know if you have any options for me? because I have no clue…

i have seen it on Instagram, ill let you know when I find the post again!

Thank you. This looks very cool! Do you have any insight about which and how many motors are they using? Is this powered from batteries and what is their main controller?

I think your first step should be choosing the wheels, motors and motor driver. Later on, you can choose a main controller (like Raspberry Pi and Arduino) which you can program to start/stop on a push of a button or similar.
