Steve

Roger on going with the steppers for now
Mach 2 having VB macro capabilities is very exciting.
I have written some VB applications. It is rewarding.
The possibilities are endless!
Thanks...

Hi Steve

Very very professional looking! First class pendant.
The excitement must be building.
It is a treat to view the new posts.
The flash card reader would be a cool addition.
Did you get...

A 5 threads per inch screw geared down 4:1 will give you 365 lbs of thrust @ 120 IPM
I would say that will cut alluminum well

Bill

Steve
Thanks for the new formula
I will save it

Bill

Stevald

Thanks for the units clarification.

To all, credit goes to Steve for first figureing out how to
calculate thrust for a belt drive. He has been a great help to me.

Thanks to all
Bill

Yes these are servo motors
Servos big advantage is that they maintain torque across their
RPM range
With Steppers torque decreases as RPM increases.

Yes these motors will work on a...

Jeff

Why I am going 9:1 is becuase I am using a belt drive insted of a lead screw. Keep in mind a lead screw is a great torque multiplier!

With a 5 TPI lead screw @ 4: 1, 3 amps would give you...

Jeff (and all other gurus)

I have read the results of your testing of these motors.
You have found that they are 360 in/oz peak @ 20 Amps peak (18 oz/in per Amp)
The manufacturer calls out a...

Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply
Yes I do have the same motors that Jeff is selling.
There were diffrent spec's published on these servos.
Jeff did do some real testing. His spec should be...

Steve
Thanks so much for the help & education.
Looks like I need to go back to the drawing board!

Dean at Axxus Technologies is also the insperation of my endevor.
Ditto on him deserving the...

Hi Steve

I am struggling with figuring out if I will have enough torque to move my X axis under a load. So I can determine what transformer to buy.
I want to use a belt drive system like yours. ...

Jeff

Thanks again for the power supply info.
As you stated in another post 36vdc @ 20 amps will be fine
for four 360 oz/in servos.

Your 4th axis looks great (what do you draw in?)
Are you...

Thanks Jeff
I am considering "Pilitron PN# 117016201
with output of 25V @ 20 amp toroid

Will this be able to give me 36VDC @ 40 amps ?

I will be also running a simultanious 4th axis

Thanks...

Steve

Good looking work.
The C-Channel should be plenty strong
Thanks for all the posts, very informative
Bet having the 2 x 2 to make parts with is great

Have you decided what gear...

Dan
You will not be sorry.
Feel free to post your questions. Looks like there is alot of PowerMill skills here.
Who is your VAR?(Delacam dealer)

Steve
Nothing wrong with being biased.
I say...

Hi Dan

I cant be quiet on this one!
I have ran Delcam products (DUCT), before PowerMill & PowerShape were born.

I can say this, "You will not find a more simple to use, yet powerful CAM...

Darren

I also am trying to build a controler box to power the same motors
that Jeff is selling.
I also need to keep cost's down.
Have you located the toroids yet? I am tring to find them....

I like the swappable spindle orientation!
I like the small footprint.
I like the simplicity of the design
I like how flexiable you can be with your workholding.

Kudos !

Jeff

Where did you get your Torid transformer?

Im looking for 36vdc 20amp minimum

Thanks
Bill
Bill

Steve

Thanks for the info
You say your thinking servos for the 4x8
Did you check out the post "My new cheap servos"
Thosse servos should get you to 125 IPM feedrate.


I also want to use the...

Thanks Also!

Steve

Wow!!

The blood sweat & tears are evident.
Quality looking Machine.

So.. whats under the hood?
Servos or steppers?
Whose drives?

Eric


Colo clock!

Is that MDF you cut the parts out of?

Thanks

You can click on the "Spaacesaver" picture for a blow-up
Also there are come other interesting machines here.

This is not the actual manufactuers site
but there is a picture of the "Spacesaver" router here

Guys
For some reason I'm getting the same results
I am trying to find a good link

I also want to build my router at an upright angle like
a panel saw.
I simply do not have the room for a large router that will handle
8' x 4' sheets of ply , but I want one.

I want to...
