    Help on Control Cabinet Design

    I am not an electrical engineer, and have very little electronics experience above 12vdc. I would like some suggestions, or some reassurance, that my current design/layout is "safe." The machine is...
  3. Re: I need advice on this design. EG mill head with spindle.

    I can always make it thicker fairly easily. Changing the shape will be more difficult though as it is really easy to bolt that mold together rigidly. That way when I vibrate the mold it won't shift.

    I was doing everything from home, but I recently got cleared at my local makerspace to use their metal machine tools. I now have access to some surface plates, mill, cnc mill and a plethora of other...

    I may end up making what I want to cast, just out of plate. I guess i could well the structure together then get someone to bore the spindle hole. I wonder how much that would cost.

  9. Re: I need advice on this design. EG mill head with spindle.

    I don't know if I have the capabilities of making this. does the draft angles of the supports add extra support? I may end up having to go with something similar to this.
  10. Re: I need advice on this design. EG mill head with spindle.

    Even if there are screws in the bottom plate cast into the epoxy to, "anchor it?"

    Would adding walls at select locations allow me to change the "centroid" of the head?
  11. Re: I need advice on this design. EG mill head with spindle.

    The yas axis has about 200mm of travel, and the rail for the axis has about 1 inch spacing from the z column. It sticks out that much so that the tool can reach the center of the t-slot table.

    The...
