LinuxCNC table. Progress

Permalink 10/17/08 00:59, by admin, Categories: Uncategorized

I have made some progress on the LinuxCNC table.

One side of the X-Axis has the motor mounted, and turning the Roton ballscrew.
I have tested the EMC2 software with one motor so far.

I have gone through and finished the wiring on the Xylotex 4-axis control box. I put Molex connectors from old ATX power supplies on the one working motor, and on the four connectors from the board.

I have completed 90% of the Y-Axis setup. Utilizing L-Brackets that were formerly designed to bolt compaq racks together. The main part of the Y-Axis was built from a two-post aluminum rack.

I got the linear motion bearing blocks from cncrouterparts.com

I had to order more pillow blocks for the X-Axis from MSC Direct. Originally I thought I would use one block on each end, but with the sag in the 10-ft screw, and to keep the alignment as straight as possible, I went with two on each end. They are self aligning, and bolt to the side of the table frame.

When I get this project completed I will post a complete parts list, and pictures of the completed pieces.

Todo:
Drill and bolt on 4inch wide steel for linear motion on the X-Axis.
Drill and bolt together other side of X-Axis.
Wiring on the table
Mount motor on Y-Axis
Mount Y-Axis
Cut side pieces to mount slats across table width.
Post pictures of project.
