The second machine - Intro
So
this is how the machine looks like today (Sep 2007). I started building
it in April 2000 and it'll probably never be completely finished.... There will always be something I want to add or improve
upon. Next up will probably be to add an extra pair of linear bearings
on the Z-axis to increase rigidity and perhaps a cable chain for the spindlemotor
power and coolant hoses.
Here's some short technical data:

-
Ballscrews: 16mm dia, 4mm pitch with adjustable
nuts.
-
Motors: 520oz/in NEMA34 on all axis.
-
Motordrives: Gecko G210 at
10uSteps.
