Gerald,
Still no comments, any one any help. Thanks and regards Irfan |
I didn't think you want to hear my honest comment, so I thought it is better to keep quiet....
Looks like the back of my washing machine. Stepper motors will be so much cleaner... |
Gerald:
I appreciate your honest comments, but you know i am sort of stuck with the motors and controllers thats why i want to use em all. I cannot keep them aside and think of steppers as I have already spent an amount which for me is pretty handsome. What ever it looks like I would be happy if it works...... AND BTW how did you change the color for the font and the question again......will this work..... http://www.mechmate.com/Forum/clipart/happy.gif Regards Irfan....... |
In principle, it will work

Wonderful! :):)
(I am very glad that you could not embed the video! We have a limit of 3GB of downloads per month, and embedded videos can kill that quota very quickly) |

Actually it will not,the video will be played from youtube direct and will not take out your bandwidth. Only that the video will be telecast on the thread! It only like posting a link. RGD's Irfan |
When I say "we have a limit", I meant it as all people in South Africa. I can not send & receive more than 3GB per month from my broadband connection to my pc. (I know it is not problem to host youtube, but I want to make this site friendly to everybody, even with poor internet connections)

Hi Gerald and others.
You can see my Jack shaft arrangement. its overweight on one side, the gantry is more than 30kg I think! and I require that sort of motor to drive it, but a small tap and it will tilt. have to find ways to balance it! ANY suggestions,BTW look at the limit switch arrangements and the jack shaft itself. RGDS Irfan |
Hi Irfan,
Good progress. Keep it up Manjeet |

30kg is not much. Our gantry, with router and z-slide assembly is 80kg. Your balance should be okay when you add the z-slide and the tool. You can also put your Y-motor to the "better" side.

Irfan,
I have been to Bangalore twice and 4 times to India total. I enjoy your country very much and I really miss the food. You are showing everyone that ingenuity and determination can produce very interesting results. You are also showing the do-it-yourselfer without a complete machine shop can, in fact, end up with a production machine. Best of luck! |

Hello Irfan
Keep up the great work,You have showed alot of people that they can build whatever they put there minds to with the least amount of materials available in there country. I see in a few other post that people Can not get materials in the country they live in. I can clearly see you have adapted to what is available to you what an inspiration to others.keep up the great work.Thanks Quote:

Actually lot of material and infrastructure is available here, for me teh only constrain was that of finance which drove me to use most commonly available material and there is a shortage of skilled labour to weld and finish......so all this circus! lets hope with all these constraints teh router turns out good! Regards IRfan |
Hello Irfan.
I bet your having a great time, no matter the doubts you can get. Keep going. I like your solution to the limits switches. I was thinking in involving them in a very soft plastic to protect them from the powder. |

Irfan & Hugo, all dust evacuation systems have a problem to work correctly at the edge of the board. When you are right on the end of a board, the cutter gets exposed.
Irfan, you have the right idea to lift a mechanical switch up, away from a flat surface where dust will collect. Also, the holes in the switch must point downwards (like you have it) so that the dust will fall out. |
Hi Gerald and All,
I had a Q 1. for the timing pulleys which i will be using to drive the pinion can i use just the grub screws to hold the pulley's in place or is it necessary to have a key to bind it with the shaft. 2. If only grub screws can be used tehn how many, I was about to put 3 each 120 degree apart........is it OK 3. I expecting a center distance of 325mm, will that matter much? 4. I will be using a HTD 8 mm pitch belt. is it OK Regards Irfan |
