[00:03:31] <andypugh> Would anyone have any guesses why the screen blanks on my mill? I have it set to “no screensaver” and the energy control panel is set to never sleep the display, but _still_ the screen goes blank after 15 minutes. The only way to wake it up is to poke the touch-screen. Sometimes this pokes a button, which is a bad thing.

[00:12:38] <andypugh> Hmm, it appears to be a common problem with lots of (over-complicated) solutions.
[00:16:29] <jdh> out IT dept. insists on locking screen savers for all computers. Really silly with touch screens
[00:23:08] <andypugh> Goodnight chaps.

[04:03:38] <roycroft> the neutral wire is a common return path for the entire circuit
[04:03:49] <roycroft> if you switch it everything down circuit will be isolated from that path
[04:04:12] <roycroft> and will seek another ground path

[05:23:09] <Oldmanbeefjerky> hello, im currently looking into buying a CNC mill, i need to be able to mill steel and titanium at the best, but im not looking for something huge
[05:23:15] <Oldmanbeefjerky> just a workshop sized mill
[05:23:30] <Oldmanbeefjerky> what kind of pricing am i looking at for new and used ones in working order
[05:23:34] <XXCoder> hurco vm10
[05:23:48] -!- toner [toner!~ink@c-71-198-91-97.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[05:23:54] <XXCoder> car value for used one. new one I guess around $350,000
[05:24:09] <XXCoder> im sure there is better and cheaper options heh
[05:24:32] <Oldmanbeefjerky> im looking to buy one with some startup funds
[05:25:19] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i want to mass produce various "things" ive designed, and i need a mill to get it done
[05:25:28] <Oldmanbeefjerky> namely various gears
[05:25:33] -!- syyl_ [syyl_!~sg@p4FD12ABB.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #linuxcnc
[05:26:09] <XXCoder> cool unfortunately im getting pretty good with only one cnc (brand and model I named previously)_
[05:26:25] <XXCoder> im sure others know more but this time is when channel goes mostly dead.

[05:27:47] <Oldmanbeefjerky> oh dear
[05:28:24] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i know absolutely nothing about cnc, what would you say i would expect to pay for a simble cnc capable of very high precision milling on steel?
[05:28:44] <XXCoder> my suggestion?
[05:28:53] <XXCoder> come in around 3 to 5 hours earlier
[05:28:59] <XXCoder> maybe more
[05:29:07] <Oldmanbeefjerky> righto then
[05:29:09] <XXCoder> channel'll be bit more chatty'
[05:29:20] <Oldmanbeefjerky> but im just asking your opinion, not fact
[05:29:24] <XXCoder> well maybe not at weekends. sat is pretty good but sunday nah
[05:29:51] <XXCoder> thats the problem, I dont know enough to give really valid opinion
[05:30:27] <XXCoder> I do know hurco vm10 can do what you ask for, but its riciously expensive for what you want to do unless youre looking into making business
[05:30:48] <XXCoder> its more expensive that average house. or 2 of em
[05:31:18] <XXCoder> *than
[05:39:28] <syyl_> "very high pecision"
[05:39:40] <syyl_> thats not a very precise question ;)
[05:39:53] <syyl_> are we talking about 1/1000mm?
[05:39:57] <Oldmanbeefjerky> no
[05:40:02] <Oldmanbeefjerky> hmm
[05:40:07] -!- zeitue [zeitue!~z@67.221.138.10] has joined #linuxcnc
[05:40:56] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i guess just one capable of milling gears
[05:41:13] <Oldmanbeefjerky> 1/50mm ought to do it
[05:41:36] <Oldmanbeefjerky> and working with tiny mill bits
[05:42:13] <syyl_> profiling gears with small endmills?
[05:42:24] <syyl_> that might be the most ineffizient way to make gears :D
[05:44:22] -!- amiri_ has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[05:44:48] <Oldmanbeefjerky> im just looking at something that can
[05:45:11] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i dont know how fine they can go
[05:45:33] <syyl_> you can go down to endmills with .4mm diameter in steel without a problem
[05:45:56] <syyl_> that can be done on every little better vmc with a spindle that puts out some rpm

[05:48:15] <Oldmanbeefjerky> wow
[05:49:07] <Oldmanbeefjerky> well, if it can handle 1mm endmills im happy
[05:50:15] <Oldmanbeefjerky> so, how much am i looking to pay on a steel capable one which would support smaller endmills?
[05:50:32] <Oldmanbeefjerky> predominantly ide be doing such fine work on aluminium or plastic
[05:51:17] -!- maximilian_h has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds]
[05:53:18] <toastydeath> you need to get a gear tooth cutter if you're trying to mill gears - doing it via profiling is a very bad way to do gears unless your application is trivial
[05:53:59] <Oldmanbeefjerky> hmm i see
[05:54:16] <toastydeath> (trivial as in the accuracy of the gear doesn't matter and it won't take much load)
[05:54:38] <toastydeath> (many applications fit both these criteria)
[05:54:45] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i guess than a cnc is plainly out of the question for me then :(
[05:54:58] <toastydeath> what are you trying to put gears in
[05:55:08] <Oldmanbeefjerky> gears suitable for rc cars
[05:55:14] <toastydeath> oh, you should be fine.
[05:55:23] <toastydeath> how big are these gears, diameter wise
[05:56:13] <Oldmanbeefjerky> i like gears at mod 0.6-0.8 and the spur gears at biggest would be 40-50mm
[05:56:33] <Oldmanbeefjerky> but i guess cnc for me is out of the question atm
[05:57:11] <toastydeath> the forces are pretty light, you'll probably be okay
[05:57:14] <Oldmanbeefjerky> requesting someone to make me a bunch of aluminium gears would be out of the question right?
[05:57:17] <toastydeath> esp if they're in steel
[05:57:23] <toastydeath> yep, pretty much.
[05:57:25] <Oldmanbeefjerky> given the required endmill
[05:57:39] <Oldmanbeefjerky> no, aluminium
[05:57:39] <toastydeath> no, most people won't touch one off jobs with a ten foot pole
[05:57:53] <Oldmanbeefjerky> dang
[05:57:54] <toastydeath> ..are aluminum gears common in RC applications?
[05:58:11] <toastydeath> because if it were me, that's the last goddamn thing i'd make a gear out of
[05:58:13] <Oldmanbeefjerky> they are generally hardened after being cast
[05:58:23] <syyl_> i wouldnt touch a aluminum gear with a 10ft pole ;)
[05:58:24] <Oldmanbeefjerky> or are an alloy
[05:58:40] <Oldmanbeefjerky> well, further thought, the whole thing is silly
[05:59:01] <Oldmanbeefjerky> thanks for the insight, ima go now
[05:59:04] <Oldmanbeefjerky> cya
[05:59:05] <toastydeath> good luck

[05:59:10] <syyl_> for one offs i would go to a wedm shop..

[06:04:22] -!- kwallace has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[06:24:37] <roycroft> i'd rather make a gear out of aluminum than pizza dough
[06:24:56] <syyl_> hmh
[06:24:58] <syyl_> pizza
[06:25:06] <syyl_> nomnom ;)
[06:25:18] <syyl_> delicious gears
[06:25:22] <roycroft> a pizza dough gear would have the adavantage of being able to be eaten
[06:25:34] <syyl_> YES
[06:25:35] <syyl_> :D
[06:25:43] <syyl_> and would be as usefull as a gear from aluminum
[06:27:01] <roycroft> tomato sauce will put pits in aluminum

[15:04:58] <ssi> so I was up all night reading about fanuc red cap motors and their stupid proprietary commutation

[15:07:29] <pcw_home_> 4 bit commutation?
[15:07:47] <ssi> pcw_home_: I believe so
[15:08:09] <ssi> right now it's looking like my best option is to pull them into inputs and use bldc to fake hall outputs for my drives
[15:08:37] -!- username12565 has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
[15:08:47] <pcw_home_> I think Asah worked on that some (the bldc comps code is not quite right but I think Asah has it working)
[15:09:29] <pcw_home_> Pico systems has a converter (its probably not a giant deal either)
[15:10:35] <ssi> I'd totally use the pico converter if it wasn't $150 per axis!
[15:10:38] <ssi> insanity
[15:10:50] <ssi> I'd sooner spin a board and reverse engineer the stuff myself than pay that
[15:12:47] <pcw_home_> probably a $1.50 CPLD and some interface hardware

[15:14:59] <ssi> infuriating
[15:15:10] <pcw_home_> I have a universal interface (small FPGA, industrial TTL/RS-422 I/O) card coming out
[15:15:12] <ssi> I want to take this opportunity to thank you again for making nice stuff and pricing it fairly :)
[15:15:12] <pcw_home_> but probably not soon enough probably could do 4 channels
[15:15:36] <ssi> I can spin a cpld or small fpga board if I need to

[15:19:11] <ssi> the 20hp version
[15:19:46] <ssi> I need to pull the spindle cover and verify the nameplate on that motor, make sure it's actually the 9kw version and not the 5.5kw version
[15:20:42] <PetefromTn_> that would be good at least then whatever solution we come up with for spindle orient will be common to the both of our machines.
[15:21:31] <ssi> that drive is $1100 from driveswarehouse.com
[15:22:51] <PetefromTn_> yeah mine was like $1k or slighly less I think.
[15:24:35] <ssi> I wish you'd hurry up and try the closed loop stuff so I know whether or not this drive is woth buying ;)
