    Hi everyone!
    So I'm sorry for my English translations from google. I'm Giang and from viet nam. I want to build a 6 dof system with the lowest price. I should choose the system to have the cheapest cost ( DC motor, AC motor or linear acuator ????). Look forward to the guidance from everyone! The load are 200kgs.

    What is cheap often depends on what is available locally or as cheap imports. Have you done a preliminary search, just to get an idea and do any significant shipping or taxes apply for imports?

    Is 200kg the anticipated weight of the rig, or the rig + user?

    Thanks @noorbeast !
    200kg is the anticipated weight of the user! Including other things, the system of about 250kg.
    I have found some of the DC worm gear motor in Alibaba: https://vietnamese.alibaba.com/product-gs/high-precision-24v-dc-motor-worm-gear-motor-713627580.html
    Can you tell me that it has enough power to work for the system?
    According to you, the system uses DC worm gear motor and linear motors, Which one is cheaper ( regarded as DC worm gear motor and linear motors equal price) ? I mean on the control system. Let's take the price in your country.
    Thanks Pro!
