[00:18:38] <danimal_garage> 94f in my shop :(
[00:18:43] <DaViruz> i sent the chuck key flying from a big russian lathe a while back
[00:19:35] <DaViruz> i've always been careful not to leave it in, but i never thought i'd actually have an accident
[00:19:39] <atom1> i've done worse but won't admit it
[00:21:20] <danimal_garage> this old french guy i worked with left the key in a big old lathe. Smacked him straight in the chest and he was out of work for a couple weeks at least

[10:18:48] <elmo40> i think hydraulics would require both push&pull at the same time. the problem is the pump would send vibration through the fluid. no +-0.001" accuracy.
[10:20:28] <elmo40> i bet if you put a dial indicator on the end of the piston and moved it an inch then stop, it would 'flutter' a few thou.
[10:20:44] <archivist> there are hydraulic servos
[10:21:42] <archivist> and there are/were machine tools using hydraulics
[10:21:59] <jthornton> skunkworks K and T was all hydraulic before he converted it

[15:54:55] <skunkworks> wow - ipmi is cool
[15:56:18] <skunkworks> I am installing ubuntu on a networked machine from my windows through a java window. ;) (that probably sounds evil) ;)
[15:57:19] <skunkworks> or not coherent,
[15:59:15] <danimal_garage> whats the difference between a resolver and a high resolution sin/cos encoder?
[16:00:01] <Jymmmm> skunkworks: you got this from where?
[16:00:32] <skunkworks> Jymmmm: it is part of the bios in some supermicro motherboards I got
[16:01:01] <Jymmmm> skunkworks: ah, and they include a java based windows utility
[16:01:22] <skunkworks> yes
[16:03:37] <skunkworks> danimal_garage: I have heard of encoders that output instead of quadature square waves they output a sin/cos signal.
[16:04:15] <danimal_garage> isnt that basically a resolver?
[16:04:38] <Jymmmm> http://www.optoresolver.com/help/tutorials/resolver_v_encoder.htm
[16:05:07] <Jymmmm> http://www.avtronencoders.com/encoder_vs_resolvers.htm
[16:05:51] <skunkworks> danimal_garage: no - what I am talking about has lets say 1000sin/cos cycles per rotation. a normal resolver has only 1 cycle.
[16:06:11] <Jymmmm> square vs sine wave
[16:06:17] <Jymmmm> see 2nd pic

[19:06:23] <danimal_garage> hey i can hear you
[19:06:33] <danimal_garage> :)
[19:06:58] <cradek> ha
[19:07:33] <danimal_garage> hey both my machines "run"
[19:07:45] <atom1> for their lives
[19:07:48] <danimal_garage> haha
[19:07:55] <danimal_garage> the lathe works good
[19:08:48] <danimal_garage> mill needs help :(
[19:09:04] <danimal_garage> at least i know the problem now
[19:09:04] <archivist> cuddle it some more
[19:09:11] <atom1> you seem to be having your share of trouble with it
[19:09:38] <danimal_garage> archivist, what is it, a woman?
[19:09:41] <atom1> is it one of the amps overheating?
[19:09:52] <atom1> having hot flashes?
[19:10:09] <danimal_garage> atom1, yea, they're too small so they're overheating
[19:10:25] <danimal_garage> although overheating to them is 104f
[19:10:32] <danimal_garage> :/
[19:10:41] <atom1> my concern is my 50v supply being too much for the steppers
[19:10:49] <atom1> i haven't hooked that one up yet
[19:10:57] <danimal_garage> why?
[19:11:06] <danimal_garage> they not rated for that?
[19:11:16] <archivist> motors dont mind the voltage, its the drives that matter
[19:11:35] <danimal_garage> i had 50v going through my steppers
[19:11:41] <danimal_garage> but they were huge
[19:11:50] <atom1> archivist yeah i know. i've been looking for some that will take at least that and hopefully a bit more
[19:12:17] <atom1> i guess you set the current limit on the amp and not worry with it
[19:12:20] <danimal_garage> i used the leadshine ones, they worked decent
[19:12:27] <danimal_garage> exactly
[19:12:46] <danimal_garage> the leadshine drives worked better than the gecko drives, imo
[19:12:48] <atom1> the higher voltage should let them run a little quicker
[19:12:56] <atom1> link?
[19:13:07] <atom1> these are small steppers
[19:13:11] <danimal_garage> just google leadshine stepper drives
[19:13:25] <danimal_garage> i dont have a link
[19:13:34] <atom1> that's fine
[19:13:45] <danimal_garage> they're cheap... 89 a piece
[19:14:25] <danimal_garage> i had issues with one, but it turned out to be the heatsink grease
[19:14:34] <danimal_garage> worked fine after that was fixed
[19:15:01] <danimal_garage> i tried replacing it with a gecko 203x and that wasnt working well
[19:17:51] <danimal_garage> my steppers didnt like that much microstepping
[19:17:56] <danimal_garage> they missed steps
[19:18:28] <atom1> with the mesa board i wouldn't need fancy drivers would i?
[19:19:01] <danimal_garage> no, but i at lest liked the option of being able to select my microstepping
[19:19:06] <danimal_garage> least*
[19:19:14] <danimal_garage> the gecko wouldnt let me do that
[19:20:40] <atom1> http://www.kelinginc.net/KLDriver.html
[19:20:48] <atom1> those look the same or similar to these
[19:21:53] <danimal_garage> yea
[19:21:58] <danimal_garage> probably are
[19:24:20] <danimal_garage> i think i'm gunna get one of those router speed controls for my drill press

[20:10:20] <fragalot> Jymmmm: I just meant the mechanical aspect from it (laser cut)
[20:11:10] <Jymmmm> I suppose I can see your point.
[20:11:55] <Jymmmm> Actually, I'm more impressed with the riveting work than the cutouts.
[20:12:36] <Jymmmm> or press work or whatever that is.
[20:13:19] <fragalot> as a whole it's pretty neat :)
[20:14:05] <Jymmmm> If it was a larger image and photographed properly (lighting, backdrop, etc) it could be.
[20:14:29] <Jymmmm> I still think anodized would help some

[20:25:35] <danimal_garage> i need to make a custom built cnc mill with an automatic material feed
[20:26:19] <danimal_garage> i know the bearings typically have a thou or two of slop, but i wonder if there was some weight/drag on it if it would be rigid enough to not have chatter

[20:31:07] <danimal_garage> mostly aluminum, but i'd like to be able to cut ti
[20:31:17] <danimal_garage> it'd have about a 2hp spindle
[20:31:32] <danimal_garage> probably 1.5" diameter linear rails and bearings
[20:32:08] <danimal_garage> ball screws
[20:32:15] <gene> Hello everybody!
[20:32:36] <cpresser> perhaps use two rails on the first axis to make it mor rigid
[20:32:51] <cpresser> my mill is build using "ITEM"
[20:32:59] <gene> I have a line in my .ini file:POSITION_FILE = position.txt
[20:33:05] <gene> and its not working
[20:33:07] <cpresser> its good enough for aluminium. but not for any more
[20:33:14] <danimal_garage> well thay'd all have 2 linear rails
[20:33:24] <danimal_garage> what's ITEM?
[20:33:44] <cpresser> a european comany popular for its easy-to-use profiles
[20:33:58] <danimal_garage> ah

[20:34:07] <cpresser> this stuff
[20:34:14] <cradek> gene: what do you mean by not working?
[20:34:44] <danimal_garage> ah. i'll be using steel plate, probably 1.5" thick or so
[20:34:44] <gene> when I have to quit emc, and restart, its all back to 0,0,0
[20:34:59] <cradek> gene: what emc version?
[20:35:13] <gene> 2.4.5 I think
[20:35:17] <cpresser> its quite expensive, but they offer eveything needed to build a cnc-machine. Rails, bearings, ballscrews; and everything fits togehetr nicely :)
[20:35:28] <danimal_garage> nice
[20:35:43] <cradek> gene: does the position.txt file exist, and what is in it?
[20:35:50] <cpresser> are you going to weld the steel-pieces together?
[20:35:55] <gene> where do I look?
[20:35:57] <danimal_garage> bolt and dowel
[20:36:09] <cradek> the config directory you are using
[20:36:19] <gene> brb
[20:36:22] <danimal_garage> i'm looking for about 10"x10" travel
[20:36:22] <cpresser> gene: also check the permission of the file. is it read/writable by emc?
[20:36:30] <danimal_garage> but very burly

[20:40:18] <cpresser> danimal_garage: i dont have any specific advice; but I would suggest two linear rails per side for the first axis; the ballscrew inbetween; and this for both sides of the frame.
[20:40:27] <cradek> hm, works for me in master

[20:44:51] <danimal_garage> atom1, liear slides are $$ and not very stiff
[20:44:59] <atom1> i wondered
[20:45:15] <atom1> i picked up a catalog on those a couple weeks ago locally
[20:45:30] <danimal_garage> never had good luck with them
[20:45:49] <atom1> what about linear bearings?

[20:55:13] <danimal_garage> hi John
[20:55:54] <danimal_garage> JT-Shop, i'm looking to build a small travel but rigid mill
[20:56:17] <gene> Or is that a programming trick I need to learn, equ to an "exitif"?
[20:56:40] <JT-Shop> using linear bearings?
[20:56:47] <danimal_garage> yea
[20:56:57] <danimal_garage> dont really want to have to machine ways
[20:57:44] <danimal_garage> what do you think? too loose?
[20:58:00] <danimal_garage> i dont want any chatter
[20:58:09] <JT-Shop> not if you use the right ones, my BP VMC uses them
[20:58:28] <JT-Shop> they are double row bearings
[20:59:06] <danimal_garage> hmm
[20:59:12] <danimal_garage> what diameter shafts?
[20:59:23] <danimal_garage> or are they rails?
[20:59:25] <JT-Shop> rails not shafts
[21:00:01] <gene> ahh, I see, going blind, do a return in a subloop. But that page shows no examples, page 2 chapter 17
[21:00:17] <danimal_garage> do you know how big the rails are?
[21:00:18] <JT-Shop> just looking in mcmaster carr they show 20,000 lbs dynamic load on the biggest on per guide block
[21:00:34] <JT-Shop> let me see if I can see one
[21:02:22] <JT-Shop> the Z is about 1.375 wide so would be in the 8,000 lb range

[21:12:37] <danimal_garage> i'm going to build an automated machine to make my chainrings
[21:13:07] <danimal_garage> so it would be approximately 3/8" endmills cutting aluminum
[21:13:26] <danimal_garage> 1/8" DOC
[21:13:44] <JT-Shop> ok, that is a pretty light load then
[21:13:49] <cradek> bp series 1 cnc is perfect for that :-)
[21:13:51] <danimal_garage> i run about 17-20ipm at 4krpm now, i'd like to match that at least
[21:14:10] <danimal_garage> cradek, i dont have room
[21:14:22] <danimal_garage> it only needs to be about 10x10 travel
[21:14:25] <cradek> yeah, approx 6' square footprint
[21:14:27] <JT-Shop> usually a series 1 the X ways are worn out and won't hold depth
[21:14:35] <cradek> a series 1 has 12x18 travel
[21:14:43] <danimal_garage> and i need either multiple spindles or a toolchanger
[21:15:01] <danimal_garage> leaning towards multiple spindles
[21:15:05] <cradek> wow, sounds like a lot of difficult requirements
[21:15:29] <cradek> the mill equivalent of gang tooling? seems like you'd need a LOT more than 10" travel then
[21:16:07] <JT-Shop> you could have a rack tool changer pretty easy
[21:16:20] <danimal_garage> yea true
[21:16:28] <danimal_garage> not sure what i'm using for spindles yet
[21:16:59] <JT-Shop> I think some are using the Chinese spindles from flea bay
[21:17:02] <cradek> for 1/8" depth, shouldn't you be using 1/4 tools - less expensive, higher feeds, much smaller spindle possible
[21:17:16] <danimal_garage> it'll have a cutoff saw on it too, with a material feeder so it can feed in the 6x48" strips of material and cut it off to 6" squares
[21:17:21] <cradek> you sure want more than 4k though

[22:56:01] <andypugh> ANd I was using Inkscape just moments ago to sketch out a notional Anilam conversion for a chap I suspect hasn't half the required skillz
[22:56:31] <JT-Shop> a schematic?
[22:56:35] <andypugh> Aye
[22:56:49] <JT-Shop> I'll have to check it out
[22:57:18] * JT-Shop is done bleeding so back to work
[22:57:37] <andypugh> No, don't bother. It was a private email and just showed PC-5i23-7i33-Drive-Motor....
[22:58:52] <andypugh> Maybe he will figure it out, I have a horrible tendency to assume that everyone else is dumber than me.
[23:00:07] <JT-Shop> I mean Inkscape
[23:01:48] <andypugh> Inkscape is pretty capable. If you want to draw vector-art it is a good choice.
