Hi all,
Well, I'm kind of new around here, been lurking for months. The great machines here has inspired me to build my own. So here are the specs:
Moving gantry, 48 x 32 table
34 x 24 x 5.5 envelope, Porter-Cable 1 3/4HP router.
3 214oz/in Pac Sci Powermax II driving 1/2 10 Acme lead screws with Delrin AB nuts.
3 Embeddedtronic microstepping chopper drives running the steppers in series bipolar.
30A 30V PSU (3 10A 24VAC frame transformers, 1 per motor).
Igus Drylin W40 doubles for the X axis, rollerblade bearings and harden 1" shafts for the Y, W singles at 6" apart for the Z.
The gantry is built of 1010 and 1020 X beams from 8020, with 1/8" alum gusset plates.
Don't beat me up too much, but my camera is C*&p! Don't stare too long or you'll go blind. that said, here are some Pixs. |
