GrandpawB, it's like Gerry said, "Configure one of the motors as the A axis. Make sure all settings are the same as the Y axis motor. Go to...
:) Tweakie.
Hi RomanB, The highest degree of precision would be obtained with quality ball-screws (and their associated angular contact thrust bearings) but...
This certainly looks like an excellent software at an excellent price I will have to give it a try. Tweakie.
Chicken's egg shells :) Tweakie.
:D:D:D Tweakie.
Thanks Michael, Very valid points that you have mentioned, I think most of them will be covered as the build progresses but I just haven't had...
I have never actually seen a 40kW laser but I don’t think it would even go in through the door of my workshop. Perhaps best if I keep to 40Watts....
Hi Mark, Yes indeed sir, the total distance the beam has to travel does affect the power. In practical terms a variation in distance of 4’ or so...
That is just way too cool Robert. Excellent work sir. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
:D:D:D I haven't even got to the complicated bit yet, but yes I agree this is not for everybody although there has got to be some other wacko's,...
Tweakie published a new build: Here it is my intention to show what was involved in adding a CO2 laser to my existing CNC machine. Read more...
Probably easier said than done on that particular stepper driver board but maybe worth a try. Tweakie.
Hi Kreaturen, I, like you, have been unable to find any real data on your stepper driver circuit so it appears that it has a fixed current limit...
A very useful collection of utilities and information Timothy, thanks for sharing. :thumbsup: Tweakie.
Excellent project build Robert - that is going to be a great little spindle. :thumbsup: Is there any form of locking between the rotor and the...
Sorry, my mistake - I thought you had voltage limitations with your stepper driver not your PSU. :oops: Basically you need a PSU which will hold...
Your stepper motor is 'stalling' -I think (as already said by others) you need to be using a much higher voltage to get reliable performance. The...
I don't know for sure but that would seem the logical way to ensure correct registration between the two processes. Incidentally each of the two...
This is not my work, credit goes to Jerry in Montana, but I thought you guys may like to see some of his work which I think is quite...
