Hi all,

I'm doing a machine to apply glue for photovoltaics modules assembly.
The goal is to apply a line of silicon glue around a metal frame, before
assembly of the frame with the laminated photovoltaic module, and then to make
a second pass
Hi
I am interesting in your router. Did you build that router by yourself or
retrofiring existing one. What king head A and B axis do you use.
can you send me link from internet that describe your A and B axis?
How big spindle motor do you use?

the machine will move in a straight line between the coordinates on one line
and the coordinates on the next line
for example:
if the program looks like this

X1 Y1 Z1
the machine will move
from

to

Hello Yann
Interesting project. I saw an early EMC powered pick-and-place machine
in Belgium back in the 1990s. No reason that EMC2 can't handle the
project easily.
I believe that the Axis interface may be overkill. It would be a fairly
easy write to create a frame in the Mini interface that

Yann,
In addition to what Ray said, if you are up to writing a simple interface
you can use emcrsh described here:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Emcrsh
This is a simple telnet like text interface which can be used to query
machine information and issue commands. It can be run

Hey there Aram, I built my own router. I work as an industrial designer
build heavy equipment for steel mills and the like. Designing and
building my own machine was a natural fit. My router is 20 x 10 [ft]

I've not yet built the B/C axis

Hi,
I am new to the list, would like to see what is needed to build a CNC
machine.
We have bought a 3 axis platform, with steppers, can replace them to servo
with encoder id needed.
We have some experience with micro controllers, and likely to use some PIC
based controller,
in these case
Thanks Steve, this was infact my plan. I've got a bunch of G202's and steppers
sitting around. It would
be fairly simple to load it up and start playing and get my feet wet that way..
we'll see how things progress
from there. I'm several months away from any major changes on my machine..just

If the rack drive has no backlash and is strong enough to handle the
cutting forces there is no reason to go to a ball screw.
The bidirectional lead screw compensation works very well.

As the moves I need to do are very simples, (just drawing a square with the
glue, in fact), I think learning moves like this will be far more easy than
creating Gcode.
Dude, as a person who spent years writing gcode in a text editor, all I can
say is your program will be literally four g1

My suggestion is to just replace the pinion as most of the wear is
there. At some point it maybe necessary to replace the rack as
well.
Of course if the amount of engagement is adjustable there may
well be a
lot more service gotten out of the pinions as well.

Does the EMC2 tracking the actual position, assume sometimes the stepper
