least expensive is a Ebay driver with built in BOB like
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Axis-TB6560-CNC-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Controller-Board-/130532311197?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item1e6455009d

that was just a quick grab, shop around ebay and find the best fit for 
price location and shipping cost. if you need a power supply you can 
also get if from ebay, some times even from the guy your getting the 
driver from. look  at the what else the supplier of the drive has for 
sale, most times you can save on shipping that way.

 Cecil Thomas mentioned in another thread that he'd cnc'd a watchmakers lathe.

 I'm looking for ideas here.

 A Unimat SL1000, MK1 landed on my desk last Saturday. It's mine if I want it. 
 Have been thinking of taking some of my CNC parts kicking around home and 
 using them, but I don't think using a 5i25 + 7i76 + Nema 34 steppers is great.

 So, with a little lathe like this, if I go with NEMA 17 3D Printer steppers 
 (think Reprap or one of the Thingverse machines), what would be the best, 
 least expensive way of driving these steppers from a LinuxCNC setup?

 Do the C10 boards, as shown in www.automationtechnologies.com's stepper 
 motor kits work with LinuxCNC?

 I expect this little lathe to be a toy or demo lathe; take it along to 
 shows, etc, and have it run making little brass swarf piles.

 I do have a computer put together with 5I25 and an Intel D525MW motherboard 
 waiting to sit beside my larger CNC lathe build, so I could use that for 
 computer horsepower.

 Thoughts?

 Thank you;

http://www.circuitspecialists.com/stepper-motor

they have small steppers, down to NEMA 11, if you look around you can 
find NEMA 8 as well, remember that torque drops fast the smaller you go 
so you may want to watch that your motor is not under powered, you may 
have to gear it down.

sound like a fun project

I would do the update, who knows if the old even works
with a whole new update to the control system you know what you have and 
can update and upgrade at will

old iron like that should never die unless broken by extreme abuse, like 
dropping it or running into it with a fork lift or something

it need some TLC but it should be a good unit

as for price $300 to $500 would be more than fair, as said scrap price 
would be close to that

I know it need work but I would drop $500 on it if it was close to me, 
providing nothing major is broken or damaged, the rust should be a easy fix

Re: [Emc-users] How do I calculate leadscrew push/pull forces?

2008-03-16 Thread Stan Blosser
Don't forget to take into account the efficiency of a leadscrew, which I 
believe averages around 35%.  In other words, 35% of the rotational 
torque available gets transformed to linear force.

Stephen Wille Padnos wrote:

 The leadscrew diameter isn't important for the force calculation.

 The motor can output 200 ounces force at a one inch radius, as you 
 said.  For one revolution, the 200 ounces of force is applied over 2*pi 
 inches of travel, but produces 0.2 inches of table motion.  Just divide:
 200 * (2*pi*r) / (0.2) = force in ounces
 =2000*pi, or about 6280 ounces force (close enough to 400 pounds).

 The units are ounces * (inches) / (inches), which is ounces since the 
 lengths cancel out.

Re: [Emc-users] micro ATX with on-board video inside NEMA style enclosure

2008-02-28 Thread Stan Blosser
Greg,

I mounted a mini-ITX motherboard in a NEMA enclosure.  I simply sat the 
unpowered board on the internal mounting panel, marked the holes with a 
Sharpie, then drilled an tapped for 4-40 thread (I believe), which was 
the thread of the PCB standoffs I had.  I didn't need to make a PCI card 
holder as I don't need any add-on cards for my application.  And the 
onboard video on the mobo that I used seems to work fine.

I've got a couple pictures on my site.  Look for the Mill Enclosure 
image gallery under the title Micro Mill CNC Photos on the right hand 
side of the page.  They're the last two pictures in that set.

Take care,

 Greetings,

 I want to start by thanking everyone for their hard work on developing 
 and supporting EMC.  What an awesome piece of software that is easy to 
 setup and use.  My mill, a Bridgeport series I, has been running now for 
 several months without the first EMC problem.  Of course there has been 
 a few operator related errors.

 The problem I have is that even after sever months, my drives, computer, 
 and power supplies are still sitting on a cart.  So I thought I would 
 clean things up by putting all the components in a NEMA style enclosure 
 and mounting it to the base of the mill.  Because I am only using the 
 parallel port, I thought it would be nice if I found a micro ATX with 
 on-board video to mount inside the enclosure like the following:

 BIOSTAR AM2VCOMB34S AMD Sempron 3400+ AM2 VIA K8M800
 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138100

 However, I understand that not all onboard video chips play well with 
 RTAI.  Does any one have any experience with on-board video?  Anyone 
 mounted an ATX motherboard in a NEMA enclsoure and fabricated a bracket 
 for the PCI cards?

 Many Thanks,
 Greg

Re: [Emc-users] Stepper torque measurement article

2008-02-10 Thread Stan Blosser
I'm not an expert on AC servos (or servos at all for that matter) but I 
suppose the same tecnique could be used to measure torque on nearly any 
motor, but keep in mind it is an offline process.  This is not something 
done directly by EMC or the motor controller. 


The setup for my measurements:

   The stepper motor mounted on a bar suspended several feet above the
   floor.  A 1.5 diameter pulley mounted to the shaft.  A string wraps
   around the pulley and goes down to a basket for holding weights.

My method for measuring torque went like this:

   Set EMC to a very low jog rate.  Initially about 1 inch/minute.
   Load a basket with with weight.
   Jog EMC so that it runs the stepper, which like a winch, lifts the
   basket.
   If everything works fine, jog in the other direction to return the
   basket to the floor.
   Continue to load the basket and jog until the stepper mis-steps once
   fully accelerated.
   Upon failure, note the weight and jog rate (which gives me the
   values for the table on my site).
   Remove some weight from the basket.
   Increase the jog rate, attempt to lift the basket, and continue
   increasing the jog rate until the stepper mis-steps.
   Upon failure, note the weight and last successful jog rate.
   Remove more weight and repeat the process.

Like I said, this is an offline process though.  It is meant to be a 
method for approximating certain design variables, rather than as 
feedback for an active system.

I think in program need be include variable that limits maximum torque to

Re: [Emc-users] Ball screws + error compensation

2008-01-27 Thread Stan Blosser

Dredging up a slightly old thread, but rather than start a new one...

I'm in the design/planning stages of CNCing a Sieg X3 mill and will be 
using ball screws.  At this point, I am planning to use Nook XPR screws 
as they have a lead error of .001 in/ft.  The main reason being is that 
I do not have an accurate method (that I know of) to map a less accurate 
screw for error compensation in EMC2.  If I did, I would likely be 
looking at Roton screws at .004 in/ft error.  Regardless of the screws, 
I'll be using double nuts to adjust out the backlash.


Does anyone know of a home shop class method to map a screw?  Perhaps 
using a dial indicator and moving along an inch at a time.  That sounds 
a bit tedious and prone to mistakes, but it's the only thing I can come 
up with off the top of my head.


Also, I'm assuming EMC2's screw compensation interpolates between data 
points in the compensation file.  Can anyone confirm this?  If so, is it 
just a simple linear interpolation?


Thanks,
Stan

Low backlash is critical for good operation on a CNC, but if you are
using EMC2 and have a way to measure it, the accuracy of the screw
doesn't matter much since you can use screw compensation.

[Emc-users] AXIS manual spindle control

2007-11-03 Thread Stan Blosser
Please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask but...

Is there a way to change the increment used when manually increasing or 
decreasing (F12  F11) spindle speed in AXIS?  In other words, if I want 
my spindle set to 1000 RPM I have to hold down F12 for quite some time 
to get it up to speed.  If there were a scale value of some sorts that I 
could set to 100, then I'd hit F12 ten times and be done.  I've searched 
the documentation and couldn't find anything relevant. 

Also, an oddity I've discovered now that my spindle is under EMC's 
control is that when I hit the minus key the spindle stops.  For 
instance, when in MDI mode, I enter the commands:

1: M3S1000
2: G1X0.5Y-0.75

The spindle stops spinning when I hit the minus key following Y on line 2.

I'm using EMC 2.1.7 on Ubuntu 6.06, installed from the repositories.

Thanks in advance,
Stan

Re: [Emc-users] HOME Sensors

2007-02-05 Thread Stan Blosser
The home switches I'm using are from Automation Direct 
(www.automationdirect.com) and they're cheap too, at $13.75 ea.  Just go 
to their site and search for P/N AAP2T14Z11.  They offer them with 
different actuators (plunger, roller, lever, etc.), and claim a repeat 
accuracy of 0.01mm at 1 million operations.

 Go to their online catalog page 861 at the bottom of the page.  Or search 
 for ultra precision limit switch.
 They're expensive but it's nice to know they exist if you can justify the 
 price.

[Emc-users] VIA based Mini-ITX

2006-11-23 Thread Stan Blosser
Has anyone ever used one of these little guys to run EMC?  I'm mainly only 
concerned about the floating point math necessary to run EMC.  I'm currently 
running on a PIII 1GHz with zero problems (at least on the PC side of things).  
I'm considering going in a different directions with the controls and one of 
these would fit perfectly into my design ideas.

Specifically, I'm looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813153053

The plan is to add parallel ports through the addition of a PCI card, and boot 
from a CF card plugged into a CF-to-IDE adapter.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
