Got it! I did enquire with mechatron and yes those spindles are upwards of EUR 1000 with all the accessories :-/. I did find this though.
Thank you for the incredibly detailed explanation. It is helpful. How did you calculate 3000 rpm?
Thank you Craig. That was very insightful. I must read up more on how this works. What spindle would you recommend?
What would be the maximum power spindle that I can then operate on a 220V AC circuit?
I see. Then this particular one would not be 4.5KW since P = V x I. This would give its rated current at 220V to be around 20A. However it seems to be rated for only 10A.
Long time lurker but posting after a while now. I'm in the market for a CNC spindle and I had a few Qs. I'll mostly be milling Alu and variants of steel. Once in a while, some plastics as well....
I'm still designing my fixed gantry build using Misumi's 50x100 High Rigidity extrusions. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to fill the interiors of the extrusions with some dense substance...
Hi, I recently built my own cartesian style CNC router with 12mm plywood parts. Its mostly an OX style CNC with delrin wheels for linear motion on V-slots. I can mill 6061 aluminium on this but I see...
Hey folks! I'm an electronics engineer and I've been tinkering with CNCs for about 2 years now. I recently developed my own electronics for it. Its an integrated 4-axes controller with four 4A...
I'm trying to get some basic theory right about the maximum step frequency that my software should output. I got some formulas from here and lets say I want my machine to move at the rate of 60mm/s...
