OK, so it's not really TM but the name popped into my head and made me smile.
This is a very quick open source idea I had when reading a recent thread about long ballscrews "whipping" at higher RPMs.
Here is the basic idea;
The basic device (seen in BLUE) is made from slippery plastic uprights attached to a sliding base. The 2 uprights have a slip-fit hole so they will allow the ballscrew to turn, and allow the device to slide along the screw.
The device is pushed along by the gantry as needed.
The device stops the screw whipping because the screw can't flex downward at all, and because the device has mass that will absorb energy that could cause whipping to start.
Obvious improvements would be to fix the device so it is not just constrained in one axis (downwards).
It could be fixed to the machine base so it can slide but not be lifted or moved sideways, this could be as simple as long slots cut in the device and screws through the slots down into the base.
Alternatively (and I think is better) the device could have screws along the outsides, so the screw heads stop it lifting, and the screw shanks stop it moving sideways. That should be extremely easy to amek and to retrofit to existing machines.
This is open-source, use it as you like for personal or commercial uses.
Please add input if you like and moderator please move to the open-source forum if you think that is more appropriate (although I posted it here to reach more people with larger woodworking type routers).
