Yeah, the foam near where it touched contracts away from the tip as well- you can see this if you do foam sculpting with a soldering iron or hot...
Look into EMF shielding best practices. If you're ever adding a VFD, add high frequency stuff to that. Probably eBay. What are you putting in...
Depends whether you're trying to stop the rule to length or the die itself for partial presses. The linear stage will be far more rigid and likely...
Pretty sure everything would be fine if you took out that line (or changed it to G53 G0Z0 or G53 Z0Z-0.25 or something just to be safe). It's just...
Yeah, could be bouncing. Around a thou sounds plausible. If it's not axially parallel with the spindle axis (ie. it's swirling instead of...
Looks closer to 0.15mm to me, but the easiest way to check the router is to just take off the nut and throw the indicator on the ER taper itself....
Yeah I can't gauge space constraints without images, so that's your call, but the latter could be pretty easily solved with a second, much smaller...
These are very short carriages, which may be contributing to the long-lever instability. Those wheels have to be spread way out (and probably add...
Stepper motors require a differential offset square wave input. This is commutated by the driver every time it receives a step pulse, in the...
I have a Mars and a Saturn, I'd be interested in this if it exists (I'm assuming it does, somewhere, given that they went to closed subscriptions)
While I haven't been able to work on it too much the last few months, I did some basic deflection FEA on my gantry because I noticed how much...
Put a dial indicator on the Z axis, zero, hit cycle start, and when it's done, MDI G0 Z0 and see what the indicator says. That'll tell you for...
G-code may not be responsive enough for a production line environment. If it is, then CNC itself may be overkill and you can just use an Arduino...
Eagle Pair from Survival Laser is what I use.
o_O
The idea is that the engagement direction- where the sharp edge of the tooth first cuts into the workpiece- holds the workpiece and leaves a clean...
Are you using spider couplers? I've never had a problem with those and I'm running NEMA 34s.
Linear rail is non-structural. Which part of the beam bends the least?
R'n'P drive motors are almost always on a sprung swivel system; you can build enough adjustability into the system to use multiple different...
You even need double the power of a fiber laser for copper and aluminum than you do for steels. So you're probably looking at somewhere around a...
