Not sure about the other bits, but I believe the Arduino has a selfhealing fuse onboard.
Something about structural engineering and precision machine design has never sat right with me. Probably because most structural engineers I...
There are a couple of A axis builds around. Haven't seen any 5 axis, but it's doable. It's not that complex. You just need a controller that can...
And once you get cutting you can make your own redesigned components. I don't like to give spindle advice, but personally I think the 1.5kw...
I used IMService machine shop for the rails and spacers. They have a website and eBay account. I recommend you contact them for a quote through...
It's out there Gary. Hardened and ground. I used it on my build. [IMG] Joe
Sure thing Ren.
Next question was to show us what your setup looked like. New drivers then?
Twas a Joke Ren. I agree with Ricks logic. Was there a lightning storm between power cycles? Did you shut the machine down while motors were in...
Good question Ren. How do you know they have failed if you haven't powered them on?
In don't think there's any standard about it. Cartesian means the tool moves in xyz. The other has a fixed gantry. If it followed any standard it...
It's light, strong, and "brittle". Goes just about straight to catastrophic like you said. There's a nice CF F1 drive shaft torsion test on YT.
I think this is a 3 axis tipped up on its side. Maybe tip an OX up and throw in some structural webs on the backside?
I use a driver breakout combination. My BOB is built into a common box as the drivers. It's similar to the Gecko G540. Leadshine MX4660 4-Axis...
The drivers are rated up to 48v. The motors will be a bit snappier than at 24v because of faster current delivery. Power is voltage times current...
Use a 48v supply.
Yes. What drivers and power supply?
Yes. The BOB sends and receives signals. So, limits, e-stop, ssr, spindle control, etc all interface with the BOB. Some BOB's are basic and...
I use a warp9 ess. little pricey though. I think there are a few others out there that are decent too. BTW, this is an extra device between the...
I've read enough gripes against noisy usb cables that it turned me to Ethernet to LPT. The downside is that I had to use a seperate power supply...
