How about this for a quick solution? Workable?
I shall spare Mike having to repeat his reply (from PM) so here it is for everyone:
The rollers should be fixed, hard mounted in a spot that touches but does not push down hard on the top belt....
Hi Mike!
Well, I can report that I've implemented 3 axis of your servobelt and I'm loving it.
I've hit a little snag though and I was hoping you could help me out here as you probable have lots...
Now, good thing I didn't try to order a ballscrew from them, imagine the telling off I'd be given then! Whew..(flame2)
Anyone know of a good (and preferably cheap, not onsrud-cheap) place to order...
I don't know why there is even a visual basic forum to be honest. this is cnc zone, not programming zone.
Thanks rico for your detailed info. The problem lies in the "first step", I thought I had the proper cutting tool and was experimenting. Well, little did I know that my experimenting was giving me...
Yes it's flexing and the cuts are already light as is - 1mm to 3mm deep. If I go 0.5mm then I get those "molten" threads I was talking about. Plus my router is only 750w so it doesn't have the grunt...
Here are a few pictures of what I'm getting. They are not that great, my phone camera cannot focus properly at short distances. The first picture is of the cutters I'm using, 3mm, 4mm and 6mm upcut...
I've done some tests today cutting a slot, 1000mm/min at around 10000rpm using a 4mm spiral upcut (albeit with a rather "slow" helix, better for steel than mdf) at 3mm depth and I've created the...
what, another viagra seller? great, just what we needed...
any computer will do
what type of rice is that? :rolleyes:
hehehe
well I mean, if it was long grain then it wouldn't be spectacular, now would it? :rainfro:
just kidding, nice job! :cheers:
I'd suggest you were testing from +12v to -12v and from +5v to -5v, in which case it would show you 24v and 10v respectively. In that case current rating is minimal, milliamps rather than amps....
assemble the whole machine minus those surfaces that go on top of the table and have the machine flatten itself by facing the ribs at a constant z, then install the faces and that's it! ;)
remember kelderke and stomp and snails?
we worked together many years ago at icon.
it's interesting to see that after we worked together with same technology that we're both into cnc after so many...
one more thing I forgot to ask, are your steppers STALLING when you push them over 3m/min or they simply go no faster? You could be running out of oomph on your pulse rate. what is the microstepping...
is this lode from brussels?
hello hemsworth chap!
why do you not drop sides by another 150mm and close up the gantry with a cross brace underneath where your mdf is laying in that picture so it makes a rectangle rather than...
yes it will be easy. and it's not engg, it's eng :D
I'd say it would be pretty difficult to find the exact match for your belt. The quickest and easiest option would be to buy the belt and pulley together from one manufacturer and be done with it....
I'd say that if a tool breaks, either because of crashing, dropping or whatever, the programmer/machinist should pay for it. If it's dull then the company should pay for it. Company can build a...
I think most of it is 1810 (AISI 304)
how true. well I guess some people take idle chit chat too seriously. I'm outta here.
actually you got it the wrong way 'round - countries WITHOUT poverty would buy poverty credits from impoverished countries. That way impoverished countries get rid of their excess poverty and rich...
hello there happy people! no nothing to add just thought I'd throw in some positive happy energy into this thread. :rainfro:
:wee:
:cheers:
now group hug group hug
(group)
wow wow hold your horses there politically correct people. I meant it as an off-hand joking remark hehe :D
well, either that or "code your own (tm)" ;)
there's nothing fake about this worm-gear. it's real allright. maybe you wanted to say "DIY worm gear" instead?
what you need to do is use the chip load calculator http://www.whitney-tool.com/html/calculatorSpeedFeed.html and then for your first cuts start at 20-30% of what it says. yes you will possibly leave...
60 years of kp of china? well, happy holidays!
