New Machine Build- From Old Medical Equipment

[paprjam]

Started a router a couple months ago and progress has been slow. We quit working 72 hours a week and am down to 36/48, now I have more time but seems like no money.

It's a camera for taking pictures of x-rays, I think. Ready made with 3 axis plus a 4th next to the z axis. I took it off so I have an extra motor and screw.


I pulled off all the extra junk and am mounting it gantry style, all 3 axis on top.


Picked up some 80/20 at the surplus store where I got the camera. Cut it and made the framework. I love this stuff, adult erector set.


I got the motor driver board from E-bay with E-stop and a Breakout board. I got it wired up and tried it out. The motors are sitting on the power supply, it's a 12/12/5/5/5 vdc I got from the same suplus store. He likes to see me come in.
I've got rotation in forward and reverse, so I'm happy.


Special Thanks to FrankG for his help, he has the same piece of equipment.
