Im looking at building a CNC with a cutting area of X1500mm x Y900mm x Z250 - 300mm
This would make my ball screw lengths about 1800mm x 12000 x 600, I think I haven't modeled it yet.
Ive been researching whip in ball screws and i think X2510 would give me about 8000mm/min, Y2505 about 9000mm/min and Z1605 (not really a problem as the stepper won't be able to spin fast enough for it to be a problem) Do you think im on the right path with the size and pitch of these ball screws?
I will be running Hiwin rails on all axis, C7 rated ball screws with two on X and one each on Y and Z.
I will be cutting hardwoods on this machine around 2000 - 4000mm/min
I'm looking at getting hybrid steppers, what size's would you recommend for this machine? I'm a little unsure on how much torque and what sort of accuracy i can expect with the pitch of these ball screws. I'm tipping gantry weight will also be a factor.
Cheers
