Can a camera be used with a 3018 CNC machine

Thread title says it all but can a Lightburn camera or other camer be used with a 3018 CNC machine???

Yes, but you’ll need to build a structure to mount the camera so that it looks down and sees the working area of the machine.

Here’s an example:

You would also need to add homing switches, so the positioning of the machine is accurate and repeatable.

The laser is locked down. As well as the camera. So nothing really moves. I have found the set up to be spot on. Updating overlay to just double check were everything is at.

That sounds encouraging… Do you have a pic of your setup?
