You sure do pick the most inopportune times to have you BBQ’s.
Last one is was OS for work. (Working on some CNC machine)
This time it’s my sons Birthday and party.
If it was my misseses then I’d...

Hi Dave


I'm a Service Engineer for a machine tool manufacturer in Melboure and we are currently looking for a experenced CNC service engineer.

Give us a PM and I'll provide you some details...

Hi Guys

Its been a while since I've posted.

Been kind of busy with work.

Anyway I'm stuck in Taiwan trying to get a machine to grind a a good radius and will not be able to attend the BBQ.
...

Have a look at Geomagic Studio.

www.geomagic.com

It does everything you could ever want with point clouds and dam fast too.

Might be a bit on the pricey side though.

It`s a good Idea to put something like a 1watt 500K or even 1M resistor permently accross your bus. This will draw hardly andy power during normal operation but when the supply is turned off it will...

I'll try and make it, although I'm pretty sure I'm off to China on the 21st.

By the way I'm posting this from China but will be back home Sunday.
I'll give you a buzz.

I use the 4000 series spaceball both at home and work mainly on UG and mastercam.
I also play with Solidworks, Catia, Cimatron, Inventor and various other cad/cam systems using the 'spaceball'

I...

Good quality/ high end servos systems make no noise at all if tuned correctly.

The only sound that can be heard is that of the bearings. i.e. Motor ball barings, ballscrew and/or belt, linear...

Great job and nice work with the front bearing housing.

I've been thinking along the same lines for a while now as I have quite a few spare servo motors and drives sitting around.

The thing...

I'll call and probably drop around tonight with a file for you to cut.

If thats okay.

I would not worry too much about the difference between yours and the new ones.
Any 'Spaceball' is a huge step forward from having none at all.

Full 6 DOF.
Improved Sensitivity and response....

Hi Guys

First let me start by saying that there is no difference between an AC servo motor and drive and a DC brushless motor and drive. They are the same thing. Just a different way at looking at...

Hi Guys,

There are many AC servo drives avaliable.

Most of the big manufactures have drives to run these motors, Siemens, Fanac, Boshe just to name a few.

AC Servo motors generally have hall...

I've use it sometimes.

It seems that some things are easier to do with it than Solidworks.

SE is a great utility,it's very stable, the tutorals are top quallity and EDS's support is above par....

UG NX2 is a big step forward from NX.

I use NX2 at work now and its not that hard to do stuff.

I think its easier to use than ProE and even more powerful.

Also have a look at Catia, it's up...

Count me in.

How did your drives go?

Thanx

Giday mates

This 'downunder' forum is a great idea which should lead to some cool DIY machines in the land of OZ and NZ.

Let me introduce myself.

But before I do I would like to apologise in...

Hi azsigns

I work for a CNC machine tool manufacturer who makes the whole base from a polymer concrete mix. It has great vibration damping properties.

it could be worth a try in a router. It...

Hi bennyben

Digital servos are no more percise than conventional servos.
When I say this I must bring up the fact that digital servos are newer technology and therefore are used in the newer and...

I must say that the router is most impressive.

My question is to do with the renishaw probe.
What model is it?
Are you using the renishaw interface?

I have several probes awaiting my router...

You got that right mate!

I'm also in Melbourne and the cost of components here in Oz is criminal.

The Yanks have it made. Everything so cheap.

Give me a bell I may be able to help you out on...
