Hi,

I get a 368 alarm on the Z axis of a Robodrill.
I swaped the encoder and the cable with the y axis to check which one is the culprit. Both work fine.

I imagined it should be the drive card...

Hello all,

I may have an opportunity to acquire an used Roku Roku horizontal machining center.
If so, at this moment I have no clear end purpose of it. Maybe I'll fail the retrofit, maybe I will...

Maybe you have a different issue than I had, but maybe it will help:

Measure the tool.
At work we ofthen had issues with shady mills. The 6mm was either 5.9 either 6.1 on so on. The smaller the...

Small updates,

Work hasn't gone great. We're bouncing back and forth with what it is exactly that we need, regarding work envelope, MRR's etc. So, design stage is bouncing also. Attached the...

Yep, you're right about the Haas, but in Europe you could find for less than half the price. Ok not the same product, but the same result in what it offers as end result. Milled parts.

Nevermind...

Hi guys,

Well, 5mm ADOC HSM isn't easy to achieve I'm sure, but that would be the top target.
Option are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PC9ezN6cno - triple the expense over the diy, and less...

Hello everybody,

At work we're running after a decent contract for aluminum molds. At this moment we don't have a machine to deliver goods, so we are on a thin string of buying one or building...

I am looking for a ready working system to fit on a router in order to cut 100mm deep material.
The material that I cut is usually foam, gypsum, or resin.

By system, I mean mill bits, and the...

Hi there Tony,

Sure, attached you have an example.
You can see marks of the mill outside the boundaries. Also the contours are edgy and sketchy. Those outside boarders should be clean edges.
In...

Hi there,

Could anybody help me regarding a 3d pocket milling?
Sort of a female mould shape.

In the attachment you have what I need to do. Mill that red pocket.

Cut3d does an extra cut...

Hi there,

Sorry to bump in on an old thread, but I'd have some questions for you ISEL stuff owners.
I'm planing to get some ballscrews and nuts from ISEL, but in their documentation I see Class 7...

Hi there guys,

Thanks for the words.

@ RomanLini - I actually had to look up for "trivial" to see in which form of the word do you mean it :). considering the size of the runing path,...

Hello everybody,

I'm looking for an advice, maybe somebody bumped his head with this before me. Don't really wanna reinvent the wheel. Done it too many times allready.

I'm building a router...

Hi there,

I'm about to start a milling machine, but I'm kinda trying to avoid reinventing the wheel.
I built quite a few foam cutters allready, from the cheap hobby ones, up to full production...

WOW, I bow down to you.
This means my league is at least 20yrs behind yours in terms of know how.

Respect!

Hello Harryn,

No jacking, don't worry.

I also read that, but, what I ended up realising is that if you can set your controller or software for acceleration speeds, you can ditch inertia related...

Dear Mike,

Tried to PM you, and I got this:

Hello Mike,

- weight of the stuff is arround 3kg. Ball bearings secure the slide, so friction is minimal. On the other machines I had teflon bushings sliding on chromed shafts.
- 50mm movement...

Hello guys,

Thank you for your answers.

Dear Harryn, I pretty much walked all of those steps you mentioned.
My motors do run halfsteps, they do now 400 steps/rev. I could go up to 1.600...

Dear Harryn,

Thank you for your reply.
Attached you have some pictures with the old setup, kinda direct drive, lets say, and some 3d of a plantery sistem that I tested, and the actual version...

Dear Gerry,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm using 10 teeth pulley. That's why I assumed 3:1 ratio should be enough. Maybe if I avoid the very low turn rates of the steppers then vibration should...

Hello everybody,

Don't know if this is the right place for this topic, hopefully I'll find somebody who allready walked these steps and could give me a helping hand. I'm so tired, to reinvent the...

Hello,

I'm planning to build a laser cutter machine. I'd use it to cut 2-3mm thick plywood, and acrylics. Plexy up to 10mm tops probably.

As machine, I'm pretty ok with everything, no questions...

Hi all,
