The C-Beam Actuator as-is? Perhaps, with such a short stroke. A C-Beam based actuator in general, maybe a 12 or 15mm leadscrew? I don't see why...
You're limited in the screw diameter you can use inside a C-Beam because of the nut size. 16mm ballscrew nut housings are quite large. Leadscrew...
Motor winding diameter and wire gauge both directly affect input torque. 3A through a NEMA 23 will give you less torque than 3A through a NEMA 34...
Becoming a resource for real, practical, readable, straightforward guides or tips to LinuxCNC would make this place a [-n even more] major...
Not sure if you can rewire inside an xPro or not. One of the reasons I like to stick to vanilla hardware targets rather than specialized...
If it doesn't include the controller (and I don't see any servo drivers?!), LinuxCNC + 6i25 + Mesa7i76 (my mill combo, plus a 7i85 for encoders...
grbl is now on 1.1, though bear in mind if you upgrade, the pinout is a little different. Personally I work almost entirely in Fusion 360, and...
Is it intended as a large format printer? Just confused as to why it seems to be running printer firmware. grbl would be the more standard option...
This whole thread is a pretty good ad for the LEAD! :D
As a LinuxCNC user... If you want to focus on making stuff and not getting bogged down with learning machine control historical theory and...
If they're felt wipers, way oil will get in ok (though an initial charge directly into the bearings wouldn't hurt) from the rail itself, just...
Yes, precisely. I suppose, since it is a university project, bringing them both options and designing around limitations gives you something...
Yeah, a set of expanding portable feed roller conveyors doesn't seem like a huge deal: [ATTACH] But if the space is non-negotiable, you're going...
There's no reason to have a machine longer than about 50cm. Just as a planer can plane lumber many metres long.
Real quick sketch in Apple Notes. Simple, rugged, minimal programming/simple control. [ATTACH]
This seems like an ideal project for a conveyor system, not a CNC machine. A simple rubber feed drum, some UHMW guides, circular saw blades, etc....
With non-recirculating bearings, I'd at least consider the feasibility of either a dry lube or a very light oil. Failing that, I'd probably go for...
First, intrinsics: design time, labor time, materials, consumables, machine cost (machine time/depreciation), packaging, shipping, etc. What is...
