First Cnc Build With extrusion

[teamloks1]

some parts already arrive need to recheck everything first before cut all the plate,and checking alu extrusion, looks like they cut the size really perfect within 0.1mm.
and i got vacuum table for size 300*400 around 400usd that i can use air compressor with it no need vacuum

[teamloks1]

got this server case with high flow fan for 10 dollar to fit my controller

[teamloks1]

today assembling Y axis rail and allign it together to 0.0001'' and i put some sand in static part(base) still thinking should iput something in moving gantry such as expanding foam to reduce the vibration

Hi Team - Why solve a perceived problem before its a problem? There's lots of routers built out of extrusions and they have no vibration issues so only solve problems that exist.

Plus why have your columns dog legged? The loadpath is from the top to the bearings so this is where material should be. To reduce weight put a hole in it but its best leave edges straight? Peter

thanks for suggestion yeah i already fix it, the problem is i already order extrusion that length and i have no idea where to cut it now to get to nice tolerance compare to factory cut

today cutting front plate for motor mount work perfectly for my servo

already cut my gantry plate by following your suggestion take 6 hours to finish by using workbee cnc pretty conservative with it

Hi Team - Slow and steady wins most races. Peter

[teamloks1]

done assembly my gantry,all measurement is accurate to 0.005-0.01mm pretty nervous since its my first time design and making own cnc
and just curious will my 2x 400watt servo can handle my gantry that i calculate around 100kg-120kg total with spindle

[teamloks1]

making my own nut holder and its pretty accurate and no binding when moving axis and today also installing my Delta 400w servo with brake for z axis im not satisfied with the mount but yeah will improve and integrate with the axis holder together when finish this since i already dissamble all part from old machine

[teamloks1]

custom spindle holder for easy tramming

[teamloks1]

done for now

[teamloks1]

having 2 choice right now regarding belting.. should i go 1:2 for 300 ipm max or 1:1.5 for 400 ipm

Hi Team - that's a serious chunk of aluminium and bolts. Keep at it. Peter

[teamloks1]

done all wiring tomorrow can start calibrate and im setting Y axis to gantry mode for servo drive to be on same setting since its dual motor axis

Wow....you almost there! well done

[teamloks1]

Wow....you almost there! well done

yeah just need to setting some pin and servo that take time i think haha

[teamloks1]

everything work well for now i set 400ipm to all axis and 1000 for acc i can set higher but got wobble for my table since i use table with roller

[teamloks1]

latest picture for my build the atc spindle is used i bought for 800 usd which got good tolerance around 0.004mm by testing using 300mm bar and the weigh tof z axis around 30kg which i use with 400watt servo with 1:2 ratio

That looks pretty good.
