Hello arvidb and thanks for the reply.what ive done so far is start the base for my machine im going with a bearing system for the fist one.ive got 3 stepper motors ,they are slo-syn m092-f009.hold 300 oz.in, 2.5 volt 4.6 amps 200 per rev.3 drivers-anehiem automation 1-6 amp selectable model no.mbl-500.I,ve got a couple of pc power suplies but i think im missing something that will connect this all together.Still learning.I live in whitby ontario just east of toronto.I would like to put pics on the site as i goe but not sure how to do that in this forum.my machine will be similar to the selph that john klienbuor made with the moving gantry.have put together the base,top and ends but have not drilled for the pipe rail because i,m waiting to get to work and get it for free.Also i,ve been collecting lots of free aluminum from the guy who installs windows at work.pretty heafty stuff but i,ll use it when i can afford better linear bearings.anyway thanks for any advise I realy appreciate it and feel free to mail anytime.i,m usualy lurking about the site reading almost everyday.now that i got most of the mechanics of it down i think its time to learn more about the electrical end of things ,that stuff is still kind of confusing.cheers.  |
