My Kondia FV-1 has 3-axis CNC added by a previous owner. I am currently re-commissioning and checking carefully as I go. The knee has two gas springs. When removed from the mill, one gas spring could just be moved by a 100 kg friend (my 68 kg did nothing). Say the knee rating is 80 kg each = 160 kg total. What is a good 'rule-of-thumb' load rating on an original knee ACME leadscrew when running CNC? I need to minimise the load on the leadscrew to maximise life, but keep it sufficient to provide stablility during machining. I will frequently be running the mill with light parts clamped directly to the table. Should I increase the knee gas spring rating a bit, or leave at 160 kg ? John.  |
