[05:23:05] <skorket> someone from another channel asked about maximum rpm of a stepper motor he had. I have them too and was wondering what the answer was. The datasheet is here:
http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/datasheets/Robotics/42BYGHM809.PDF . From this, how does one calculate maximum rpms? How is that derived based on the load?
[05:25:26] <archivist> those types od data sheets should be burnt
[05:25:32] <archivist> of
[05:26:03] <archivist> you need a torque v step rate graph
[05:26:53] <skorket> archivist, so it is not possible to calculate it from the datasheet given?
[05:26:55] <archivist> the torque drops with step rate, you have to match that with your load
[05:27:55] <archivist> you would have to test on your machine, but even then you need to run a bit slower to give yourself some headroom
[05:28:04] <skorket> and it's presumably non-linear and not easy to impossible to derive from that datahseet?
[05:28:30] <archivist> impossible from that datasheet
[05:29:02] <skorket> too bad.
[05:29:07] <archivist> wild guess by knowing other stepper motor curves
[05:30:03] <archivist> but load effects your real maximum too, if you want high speed go with servo motors
[05:32:29] <archivist> skorket,
http://www.velmex.com/motor_torque.html
[05:33:28] <archivist> shows variation with stepper size
[05:34:59] <skorket> archivist, thanks, that's what I was looking for. Obviously different for each motor and you really need the datasheet, but at least that gives a ballpark
[05:36:37] <archivist> thats what I mean by wild guess by looking at another maker
[05:38:08] <archivist> and also shows what a reputable supplier will tell you about their motors
[05:38:10] <skorket> It looks like it's pretty much linear for the latter region
[05:38:51] <archivist> rapidly dropping to 0, this is why the load matters for speed matching
[05:38:52] <skorket> are they selling?

[05:41:58] <archivist> they have a stepper motor price list
[05:42:57] <archivist> you probably will fall of chair at the prices
[05:43:03] <archivist> off
[05:44:54] <skorket> yeah, just talked to some chinese manufacturer, it's like $15, shipping included, for the one with the datasheet I just gave
[05:47:21] <archivist> the cheap manufactures are just making stuff, it turns therefore its ok, better makers test to a specification

[13:50:13] <jthornton> . seemed to work thanks
[13:50:21] <jthornton> what is nautilus?
[13:50:23] <jdh> nautilus is non-unixy, cp is very unixy.
[13:50:47] <Jymmm> jthornton: You can also represent the name of the current directory by using the notation dot (.). The dot (.) notation is commonly used when running programs that read the current directory name.

[14:38:08] <Jymmm> Alright, could someone explain something to me please.... I'm getting quotes of having SS shim stock. One part is a 6x12" rectangle with 1/4" radius corners, and 16 1/4" holes in it for around $15/ea. The other is a 3" disc with two 1/4" holes for around $12/ea. What am I missing here? Why is the disc SO expensive compared to the rectangle with all the work on it?
[14:39:34] <cncbasher> your paying for the waste materal too
[14:40:00] <archivist> and handling and setup
[14:40:12] <Jymmm> Ok, fine, but the material cost is nothing compared to the time
[14:41:05] <cncbasher> it's more the setup and handling and labour time
[14:41:09] <Jymmm> the disc is 1/4th the size of the rectangle and 1/8th the holes.
[14:41:24] <archivist> what was the qty you asked for
[14:41:27] <Jymmm> is cutting a circle THAT much of a big deal?
[14:42:07] <archivist> do they have to buy a new punch to suit your job
[14:42:36] <Jymmm> Well, I asked for 100, 1000, and 10000 qty to be quoted. on this quote I only got a qty of 30, but it's the ratio of cost between them. No die, it's waterjet
[14:42:49] -!- broofa has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[14:43:46] <archivist> water jet is low qty iirc wrong technology for 10k
[14:43:58] <cncbasher> it will be minimun hourly rate they need to make
[14:44:05] <Jymmm> he says they can stack them
[14:44:14] <Jymmm> on the waterjet
[14:44:26] <archivist> they can only stack so many
[14:46:13] <archivist> I imagine punching would be cheapest option
[14:46:28] <Jymmm> They can stack 30 high.
[14:47:10] -!- Nick001 has quit []
[14:47:40] <archivist> are your dimensional specifications too tight also
[14:49:13] <Jymmm> it's a 3" disc and I specified their worse tolerances are fine. I even said if they have to adjust the dimensions for least amount of waster material would be acceptable.
[14:49:23] <Jymmm> wasted
[14:49:43] <L84Supper> I've gotten crazy high pricing by waterjet at some places, like I was going to get them to their monthly quota on 2 days of work
[14:50:18] <L84Supper> it might just be that waterjet shop
[14:50:41] <Jymmm> It's not the price on the rectangle and much as the high ratio between the rctangle and the disc that puzzles me.
[14:51:17] <L84Supper> ask them
[14:51:19] <archivist> being shim does it need another waste but thick layer to support it
[14:51:20] <Jymmm> AND the rectangle includes laser engraving on it
[14:51:38] <cradek_> did you ask them? if there's something hard about the design and you're willing to adjust it, I bet they will work with you

[16:31:22] * archivist hands Jymmm PI
[16:32:42] <Jymmm> I know it's pi, but I'm asking the definition of "radius", if someoen says it has a 1" radius, is that really a 2" circle, cut into four pieces? (one per corner)
[16:33:11] <Jymmm> or is it a 1" circle cut into 4 pieces
[16:36:31] <archivist> you are confused
[16:37:24] <archivist> radius has no connection to the number of pieces a disk is cut into
[16:40:05] <archivist> schoolboy maths is at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle
[16:41:12] <Jymmm> Ok, if a 3" square has 1/2" radius corners, how long is the straight edge of any one side?
[16:41:48] <syyl_> he is not confused
[16:41:51] <syyl_> he is confusing
[16:42:16] <cradek> since the radius is the distance from center to edge, and you'll have two radii to subtract from your square's side, you'll get 2"
[16:42:51] <archivist> he need to learn not be spoon fed :)
[16:43:18] <cradek> after that question, I see why he's asking about a cut-up circle
[16:43:43] -!- jthornton [jthornton!~john@184.63.140.99] has joined #linuxcnc
[16:44:13] <Jymmm> cradek: ty
[16:44:13] <cradek> if you cut up a pecan pie into any number of slices, then you measure the edge of a piece before eating it, it's always exactly a radius if you're good at cutting pies
[16:44:37] <cradek> so you've got a quarter of a pie at each corner
[16:49:32] <Jymmm> then the circumfernce of a corner would be: r2Pi/4, or r*pi*0.5 if I got the right, and not r*pi/4.
[16:50:01] <Jymmm> I do appreciate the help =)
[16:50:14] -!- factor [factor!~factor@74.196.101.122] has joined #linuxcnc

[16:51:26] <cradek> are you trying to calculate the whole circumference of your rounded rectangle part?
[16:51:31] <archivist> as it is a square with 4 rounded corners you can short cut the circumference calculation it is one circle
[16:53:00] <Jymmm> cradek: I was trying to determine the travel distance of a rectangle for 1/4" radius corners.
[16:53:45] <cradek> gotcha
[16:53:54] <Jymmm> cradek: many many surface inches of travel are needed for the tool.
[16:54:10] <Jymmm> cradek: how many surface inches of travel are needed for the tool.
[16:54:22] <archivist> depends on tool dia
[16:54:37] <Jymmm> laser beam
[16:55:00] <cradek> it's true if you do any kerf adjustment the path clearly gets longer
[16:56:08] <Jymmm> I could always increase the margin by the kerf value.
[16:56:38] <Jymmm> s/increase/expand/
[16:58:13] <cncbasher> you should not need to add any adjustment for kerf if sending to a laser cutter .. they will adjust to suit the machine being used
[16:59:25] <Jymmm> cncbasher: It's not for that, it's for calculating the surface inches traveled. to get a guesstimate on time to completion.

[17:11:01] <Jymmm> It's calculating the single part that's the complicated part.
[17:11:46] <cncbasher> if you have the part in cad format then it should be easier
[17:12:05] <cncbasher> just take the measurments and add
[17:12:40] <cncbasher> or are you engraving .. so need to know the actual tool path , which is more complicated

[19:34:22] <archivist> some of the cheap arbor presses have a lot of side play
[19:35:22] <syyl_> you can build a guided tool
[19:35:40] <syyl_> then a cheap arbor press would be good enough
[19:36:42] <archivist> see also die set
[19:37:04] <archivist> which has the guides
[19:37:23] <archivist> there is a suitable one in my truck :)
[19:37:29] <syyl_> thats the premium variant
[19:37:31] <syyl_> :)
[19:39:55] <skunkworks> I would think you could find some die sets pretty cheap
[19:40:04] <archivist> I got some tooling from a couple of places, one was an antenna maker, the other die set was from the experimental dept of Metal Box Co
[19:40:08] <skunkworks> we used a set to make a simple punch for aluminum
[19:40:28] <skunkworks> *used die sets
[19:40:59] <archivist> a few springs and you can easily make a double action set
[19:43:16] <archivist> Jymmm, should be hunting for a flypress

[20:44:41] <Nick001-Shop> loadrt

[21:07:51] <skunkworks> you normally don't load it manually - it would be in your hal/ini file...
[21:08:43] <Nick001-Shop> got the first to load and now it wont take the command loadrt hm2_pci config="firmware=hm2/5i20/SVST8_4.BIT
[21:08:45] <Nick001-Shop> num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=3 num_stepgens=1" This is whats in the integrators manual

[21:10:41] <Nick001-Shop> ok- I see it now - nice of the manual to point it out
[21:10:47] <skunkworks> Nick001-Shop, I would first try the hm2-servo sample config and modigy that...
[21:10:58] <skunkworks> *modify
[21:11:20] <skunkworks> There is a generic 5i20 config within that
[21:12:51] <Nick001-Shop> if I leave encoders and pwmgens at 3 and only use 2 - will it notice or do I have to make it 2 to get rid of Z calls
[21:14:35] <Tom_itx> archivist on those dies how much lip did they leave for sharpening?
[21:14:44] <Tom_itx> i'm curious how others do that
[21:14:57] <skunkworks> Nick001-Shop, actually - there is a config wizard for mesa...

[21:17:30] <Tom_itx> the ones we did were like 1/2 to 3/4" plate with a 2 or so deg relief angle
[21:17:38] <Tom_itx> maybe a bit more
[21:17:58] <Tom_itx> then the edge was maybe .1" or so to allow for resharpening
