Look good to me too. What's the current status?

I am building a Zoltar machine and really like some of the improvements you've made to the concept.

Thanks Rob

I have roughly tuned the cards but will do some more fine tuning this week. I have also recieved all the pulleys and the bearings.

I have caded up some mounting plates so that the bearings can be mounted.

WIll start the finale assembly in the coming 2 weeks. Then there will be alot of adjusting to get everything to run smoodly.

I will keep you posted in this thread when something happens.

plates for fastening the bearings and motors are being lasercut now and I have recieved all the ballscrews. The are beeing adjusted in the ends now and will be delivered to me tomorrow. I have also runned all the motors. Two works fine but one does not hold the position. it spinns at full speed all the time. maybe the encoder is damaged or something like that. I have contacted the seller and we are working it out right now.


I will post some pics tomorrow when al the stuff for making th efinal assembly has arrived.

Now the leadscrews have arrived from the guy who have work the ends of them and I testfitted them today to see how they will be mounted.

Here are some pics and also a link to a movie of me moving the gauntlet

Video of some movement (by hand though)

Still waiting for the plates that the bearings and the motors will be mounted on.

Maybe next week.
