So, i went to junkyard to scavenge an industrial cnc bed of some kind. No labels etc.
What i got is two aluminium linear rails 240x120x2200 with chrome steel inserts, cable ducts, pneumatic actuators etc, whole sliding action with heavy steel plates, bearings etc. Also removed several lengths of 83x45x2250 aluminium rails, whole lot of fixing hardware, etc.
I think it was some sort of sheet material orienting getup as motion rails were ACROSS the table, not along and has air actuated rollers (vertical motion)...
The guides would be brilliant for Y axis, that gantry (X/Z) bolts on (no gantry, have to design/manufacture/steal/beg/borrow something).
As a bonus i salvaged a DSG56L servo with planetary reduction attachment (which costs multiple times of what i paid for whole lot). Planning to employ it in Y axis gantry motion.
Question. Any design suited best for this sort of base ?
Unexpected find, just sitting scratching my head how to proceed, beed putting off cnc building for quite a while now...
Pics of salvage attached.
