InitialDriveGTR Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Been getting a lot of work done recently:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7627.jpg Got the valve bank set up for automated control of the pneumatic control system:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7585.jpg I also decided to make my own coolant system. It uses a venturi vacuum generator usually used for picking up light parts with a suction cup. The vacuum port is connected to a coolant reservoir (currently a water bottle lol) and gets sent to the nozzle inside the dust shroud:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7611.jpghttp://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7587.jpg I realized I didn't have any pictures of the back of the robot, in particular the Y-axis support structure:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7594.jpg The DeviceNet (Industrial Can Bus) node to control the router and status light, and read the coolant vacuum sensor, proximity sensors on the Z-axis homing cylinder, and the three laser stock homing sensors:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7592.jpg Air prep unit, valve bank, bug-out button, and my hand made front control panel:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7623.jpg Got a new O-Flute from amazon, and give it a shot with the coolant system:http://s324.photobucket.com/user/InitialDriveGTR/media/DSC_7600.jpg The results came out fantastic I think, and I have also decided to name the robot Johnny 3, as Short Circuit was my favorite movie when I was kid, and it's a 3 axis robot Planning on making a few parts this weekend for my racing Sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InitialDriveGTR Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 All the axis panels are off and it's set up in my bedroom again. No milling for a bit. However, i can now scan in a part using a laser at +/- 0.004 mm in the x and y axis and +/- 0.0005 mm accuracy in the z direction. The past several months been using it for wood carving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
