Re: [Emc-users] Potential 4th Axis

Gene and all. They give you the model number FHA-25B-6015-E150. The current revision is "C". These are last year's models at 90% off list price. I'd say the 25-size unit is overkill for a home shop. This motor is designed for use in industrial robot arms, the kind of machine that welds or

Re: [Emc-users] Potential 4th Axis

This guy describes how to build a 4th axis and how to read and de-cypher the part numbers. Very clear explanations of how to do the design and machine work WITHOUT any cast metal parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmOnktzifeg Listen to the part where he talks about why you want the "F" type.

Re: [Emc-users] Potential 4th Axis

I bought one of the FHA-B types and it's the same size as the FHA-C. I've had contact with the manufacturer and they have been quite helpful. Andy's blog gives an idea of size of the FHA-B and he has castings available. http://bodgesoc.blogspot.ca/2017/05/harmonic.html I've 3D printed a

Re: [Emc-users] Potential 4th Axis

What I can't find on those Harmonic Drive brand harmonic drives is one single useful bit of information on how big or small they are. All I've been able to find are motor size numbers, that appear to be something proprietary, they're not listed as NEMA or any other standard, just plain numbers.

I tried to use hal_pin_s32_new(...) to add pins to a component in a hal driver. There are no error reported but pins do not show up in hal configuration. Any idea? Nicklas Karlsson -- Check out the vibrant tech

Hi Gene, I have used Calibre process a LOT of ebooks and the only books it has failed on are scanned pdfs, ones with DRM and occasional corrupted files. It most definitely will open epub and I generally use it to convert whatever format the book comes in to epub. I have to admit it's

Re: [Emc-users] CBN wheels.

I have very limited experience with CBN wheels so this is more of a question than comment. I noticed if the grinding process is sparking while grinding the wheel seems to not wear at all but if the process is not sparking the wheel wears rapidly. Can anyone comment? Thanks Stuart On Jan 8, 2018
