New machine build - big 5 axis

[Bartuss1]

hello
I started building a new 5-axis milling machine.
working area is 8x4x2 meter's
constructions with a quadrat tubes 100x100mm's
servo motors estun 0,75 kW with planetary gears, electronics folded markcomp77 colleague
end of the building somewhere in October
Meanwhile, some pics















elements in pictures are welded base
profiles were cut on the band saw &12 N Maktek (machine from China haha)

Looks very good Bartuss1,

I'll be watching.

Looks like you have a good start. Did you mean 8x4x2 feet working area? I have a 5-axis build with the same envelope planned (though not started, just collecting parts and finalizing the design at this point).

What is your intended work material? Given the design, I am guessing wood and foam.

Can you tell us more about your BC head? Are those planetary gears? What sort of backlash/torque/ratio rating do they have? What is your spindle power rating?

What is your Z column constructed of? The same steel tube? How do you plan to keep it from falling on motor shut-down? Have you considered the vibrations you will see when the Z column is fully extended?

I assume you are using rack and pinion on the long axes - what about Y and Z?

Do you have CAM software chosen?

Looks like a nice follow-up to your last machine! Looking forward to the build process and updates...

so, head BC will be of planetary gear apex dynamics 40:1, backlash <3' angle.
spindle will be elte 2,2 kW or combo 2 kW
construction Z column will be is a truss , cross-section 500x500mm.
I had already problems with vibrations in the previous machine.
Now I know how to eliminate the problem.
Processing machine for foam, and laminates.
I suggested to the customer Mastercam, or Zw3d cam.

I wonder... how long cable for sevodrive (encoder) will work properly?
8m axis (real 9m x 2... so.. about 20m of encoder cable)

[Bartuss1]

A bridge of the X axis

a long of 5,2 m's

wow!

[diyengineer]

looks awesome! How do you properly square everything up, and measure things? Pictures of the tools?

Holy crap! You'll need a crane to assemble this beast!
