Hi,
I am making a CNC pick and place machine as the senior project of my engineering coursework.
There is a very limited budget so I ordered RM1610 ballscrews from linearmotionbearings2008 on ebay, about 3 feet long pre machined.
Both screws are bent. They appear to have just a single bend very close to the center of the screw, one is about 200 thou and one is around 100 thou.
It causes enough binding that the stepper motor will skip steps.
Any advice on straitening them?
Due to time constraints I don't have time to wait for replacement screws and would not have money to buy better local screws.
Thank you...
