It is almost done but today I found that one bearing is bad.

 

Electronics

 

well cnc router maybe I will add plasma

 

Well you can see my previous build which is 1000x600 mm outer dimension, new one will be same construction but 1500x1000mm and with stronger mechanical and electrical components

Here is the link
My build
and here are some pictures from Solid Works project



it is not that color because friend who help me love blue color for AC motors

I put waste board but I didn't take photos. This is my design. It is changeable gantry height so I can put water table under.

It is nice because I can unscrew whole machine and put in trunk of mid size car.

 

Machine was not in level and one of wheels was in the air, but it works without vibrations, that was 7000 mm per minute, maximum is 10000 mm per minute or 2000 rpm exactly as it is written in specification for this steppers. No loosing steps because I connected alarm of drivers when position is not exact, in parallel with x and y limit sensors. I tried this I blocked axis and I instantly got alarm. It was stressful for electronics, steppers, couplers and all mechanic but I had to test it, maximum is about 10Nm measured with my old mechanical torque instrument (stepper rotate on 200 rpm) and in specification sheet it is written 12.5 Nm pretty close, maybe my old torque meter is rusty or now I use 20 mm ball-screw and I made and test torque-meter on first machine with 16 mm ball screw and my friend from mechanical faculty make it work for 16 mm diameter.

I made huge mistake I mount z sensor on right side and after that I saw that motor mount disabled it to work. I have to put sensors on left side. This is my son 19y he helped me mounting sensors. He is a footballer and above 180 cm tall (I am 10 cm taller) so you can see machine size. Aluminium plates on z axis are 400x200 mm. I am making one table for for electronic monitor and all this stuff as you can see in the background on photos.

 

I hope you understand construction now. I do this way because I do leveling of working table in 0.05mm. Machine levels table by itself, so I push table to zero and then drill holes for 10 mm screws one by one. Z axis push table downward in 4 points with precision it has so when I check metal construction I find 0.1 mm diversity because metal is not perfect. MDF I put has great diversity more than 0.6 mm but I will level MDF with wide tool maybe 1 mm or even 2 mm deep.

And I have two plates for z axis, as you can see on photos,one is 200x200 mm and other is 200x400 mm. I will explain myself some other time. I want to make machine for different purposes.
