[01:15:12] <ssi> hey pete
[01:15:16] <ssi> man that lathe you linked me was nuts
[01:15:32] <PetefromTn_andro> ?
[01:15:42] <PetefromTn_andro> Oh yeah
[01:15:53] <PetefromTn_andro> The live tool one.
[01:16:59] <ssi> yeah
[01:17:02] <PetefromTn_andro> Pretty kickass for a homebuilt
[01:17:15] <ssi> yeah very
[01:17:45] <PetefromTn_andro> I like the pneumatic chain driven headstock setup for positioning
[01:17:56] <_DannyK_> Any chances of getting the "repeater" for the link?
[01:18:24] <PetefromTn_andro> You got it ssi I'm on my cellphone
[01:18:38] <ssi> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIpByxym7Co
[01:18:47] <PetefromTn_andro> Thanks man
[01:18:49] <_DannyK_> Ty ssi
[01:19:23] <PetefromTn_andro> Man I'm getting excited about that lathe
[01:19:27] <ssi> :)
[01:19:43] <ssi> getting it saturday?
[01:20:05] <PetefromTn_andro> Having some trouble finding a loaner trailer I can use to go get it tho
[01:20:12] <PetefromTn_andro> Maybe
[01:21:14] <PetefromTn_andro> My neighbor said I could use his but then he checked it out and the damn tires are dry rotted
[01:22:39] <_DannyK_> Man that is pretty nuts..
[01:22:49] <_DannyK_> I didn't mean pretty, but nuts for sure..
[01:22:50] <PetefromTn_andro> I finished machining the first picatinny rail prototype for the feinwerkbau rifle riser I make today. It's going to the new owner tomorrow.

[01:25:02] <ssi> nice
[01:25:18] <PetefromTn_andro> http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/matospeter/IMAG0171_zpsuxkzlzs7.jpg
[01:25:33] <ssi> looks great
[01:25:45] <ssi> I can't wait to get my machine making parts
[01:25:51] <ssi> I'm sad I've had so many damn setbacks
[01:26:10] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah the Cincinnati kicks ass man.. you'll love it.
[01:26:31] <ssi> my pullstuds will be here tomorrow
[01:26:32] <PetefromTn_andro> What happened now?
[01:26:42] <ssi> eh nothing really
[01:26:52] <ssi> I'm having trouble getting the encoder-count hallstate code to work
[01:27:06] <ssi> I killed my 7i77 but I fixed it :P
[01:27:14] <PetefromTn_andro> Damn I'm sorry to hear that
[01:27:32] <ssi> but I have some contract work that I need to do, and so it'll consume a bit of my time
[01:27:46] <PetefromTn_andro> Nice
[01:27:57] <ssi> more pcb work for podponics
[01:28:55] <ssi> need to start working on the design for my next converter board too
[01:29:03] <ssi> I'm considering doing something crazy with it
[01:29:18] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[01:29:23] <PetefromTn_andro> You're a wild and crazy guy hehe
[01:29:35] <ssi> I'm gonna make this one a lot bigger
[01:29:38] <ssi> like the size of the drive
[01:29:50] <ssi> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0k78PGIQAAel1y.jpg:large
[01:29:54] <ssi> the size of that piece of acrylic
[01:30:00] <ssi> mounted like that
[01:30:12] <ssi> DB25 coming in at the bottom, by the power connector
[01:30:13] <PetefromTn_andro> Hm
[01:30:28] <ssi> connector along the near edge that wires up everything on the drive
[01:30:35] <ssi> then a connector on the top edge for the signals to the 7i77
[01:30:35] <ssi> BUT
[01:30:40] <ssi> I'm gonna give it some extra hardware
[01:30:45] <ssi> so that potentially it can be its own smartserial host
[01:31:03] <ssi> then, instead of a bundle of wires going to the 7i77, I'd just have a cat5 cable going to a 7i74 8x sserial board
[01:31:17] <ssi> then each drive just gets that one cable to it, and each one is like it's own little single-axis mesa daughterboard
[01:31:19] <PetefromTn_andro> Sounds good man
[01:31:28] <ssi> I'm not 100% confident I can pull it off
[01:31:31] <ssi> but it'd be really neat if I can
[01:32:00] <ssi> I'm gonna make the board flexible enough that it'll do what I need even if I can't get the fancy stuff to work
[01:32:16] <PetefromTn_andro> Are those drives still manufactured and are they all the same?
[01:32:21] <ssi> and flexible enough that it'll work with regular brushless motors with hall sensors as well as my redcaps
[01:32:25] <ssi> yeah they're all over the place
[01:32:36] <ssi> i bought six from the same vendor for $60 apiece
[01:32:53] <PetefromTn_andro> Yeah but I mean don't they
[01:33:05] <PetefromTn_andro> Make several different models
[01:33:09] <ssi> yeah they do
[01:33:23] <PetefromTn_andro> Are they all sharing the same chassis
[01:33:29] <ssi> eh not exactly
[01:33:37] <ssi> the mechanicals may not line up exactly with every model they make
[01:33:51] <PetefromTn_andro> That's maybe an issue if y
[01:34:05] <PetefromTn_andro> You intended to sell em
[01:34:16] <ssi> possibly, but it's not like they HAVE To bolt to the bottom of the drive like that
[01:34:55] <PetefromTn_andro> Well I'm all for anything that makes wiring up a cnc simpler and easier
[01:35:16] <ssi> yeah seriously
[01:35:37] <PetefromTn_andro> I'll be your guinea pig bitch with the new lathe LOL
[01:35:39] <ssi> :)
[01:36:04] <ssi> nice bonus: my old eagle license was limited in board size, so I couldn't make a board quite as big as I want to do for this
[01:36:19] <ssi> but because podponics needs my help in a hurry, and because forrest's new boards are HUGE, they had to buy me a pro license
[01:36:28] <ssi> so now I have effectively unlimited pcb capability
[01:37:31] <PetefromTn_andro> Sweet. Any word on those enclosures they wanted machined?
[01:37:41] <ssi> sorta
[01:37:55] <ssi> the reason they haven't come through with that stuff yet is because the mechanicals aren't sorted out on the rectifier boards yet
[01:38:03] <ssi> that's part of what I'm doing for them now
[01:38:14] <ssi> I just got done adding 3ph 480v fuses to the pcb and rerouting sections of it
[01:38:33] <PetefromTn_andro> Jeez
[01:38:49] <ssi> I need to figure out the comms connector clearances, which'll involve milling the pcb a bit until the connector fits and then figuring out what the box penetration will be
[01:38:51] <PetefromTn_andro> Sounds like a heavy duty board
[01:38:59] <ssi> and then figuring out the highvoltage cable penetrations
[01:39:14] <ssi> so I'm going to be sorting out the mechanicals, and likely I'll end up doing the drawings for the box mill work
[01:40:57] <PetefromTn_andro> Cool
[01:41:27] <ssi> long story short, I'll keep you up to speed about it
[01:41:44] <ssi> they're going to need something like 20 of these boxes as soon as the pcbs are ready
[01:41:46] <PetefromTn_andro> I wonder if I could adapt some of that live tool goodness to my new cnc lathe LOL
[01:42:00] <ssi> there's ten in a container I think
[01:42:07] <ssi> and they have something like forty containers in the atlanta farm
[01:42:25] <PetefromTn_andro> Well just let me know man and I'll get em cut for us.
[01:42:34] <ssi> yep
[01:42:44] <ssi> I'm not real sure what the best way to fixture these things is
[01:43:06] <PetefromTn_andro> I'll figure it out when I get one
[01:43:52] <ssi> sent you a picture
[01:44:08] <PetefromTn_andro> I've gotten pretty good at fixtures with all the crazy Shit we had to do in those job shops
[01:45:11] <PetefromTn_andro> So you already have a prototype then.
[01:45:21] <ssi> mechanicals aren't figured out yet
[01:45:30] <ssi> that one penetration is where the 480 3ph comes in
[01:45:33] <ssi> and they just drilled that by hand
[01:46:08] <ssi> but there'll be that, plus a square hole for a modular connector, plus a rectangular hole for a plate which'll have 13 penetrations for gland fittings or tubing epoxied in or something
[01:46:20] <ssi> it's all gotta be relatively water-safe
[01:46:32] <ssi> 700VDC in an environment where pressurized water sprays everywhere
[01:46:33] <ssi> it's fun :P
[01:47:02] <PetefromTn_andro> Interesting... Are all the entries on the sides?
[01:47:32] <ssi> everything'll be on that long side
[01:47:59] <PetefromTn_andro> Shit that's easy then
[01:48:03] <ssi> so my concerns about fixturing are that if you just clamp that up in a vise, it's gonna chatter
[01:48:11] <ssi> needs to be clamped between two big aluminum blocks or som ething

[03:00:39] <zeeshan> have you played with 3 phase breakers?
[03:00:48] <zeeshan> 3 pole
[03:01:13] <CaptHindsight> yes, currently using them
[03:01:20] <zeeshan> have you ever used a 3 pole breaker

[03:01:57] <CaptHindsight> heh, in a pinch until the supplier delivered
[03:02:20] <CaptHindsight> or used 3 1 pole for 3 phase or 2 pole etc etc
[03:02:21] <zeeshan> i was looking at my literature from eaton
[03:02:29] <zeeshan> the 3 phase and single phase panels used the same chassis
[03:02:31] <CaptHindsight> done it all temporarily
[03:02:41] <zeeshan> we just didnt have the middle bus bar
[03:02:50] <zeeshan> and the spacing of the branches changed
[03:03:05] <zeeshan> help me decide
[03:03:11] <zeeshan> should i use this 3 phase panel as single phase? :D
[03:04:01] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/15418489479/
[03:04:02] <CaptHindsight> it's not code to use 3 phase breakers that way
[03:04:07] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/14984971333/in/photostream/
[03:04:09] <zeeshan> those are the 2 panels
[03:04:15] <zeeshan> no, i'm going to use 2 pole and 1 pole breakers
[03:04:22] <zeeshan> but ill have some empty slots
[03:04:25] <CaptHindsight> but you could use the 3 phase panel for 2 pole
[03:04:46] <zeeshan> i think i should have plenty of room
[03:04:51] <zeeshan> since i have those double 15 a breakers
[03:04:59] <zeeshan> which only take 1 spot
[03:06:44] <CaptHindsight> are you going to leave one bar unconnected or connect 1 pole to two bars?
[03:06:56] <zeeshan> the middle bar will be unconnected
[03:07:09] <zeeshan> i think i can pull it out
[03:07:12] <zeeshan> and yous ee those arms?
[03:07:20] <zeeshan> where the breakers catch to get power?
[03:07:25] <zeeshan> i might steal them from the other panel
[03:07:29] <zeeshan> and space them correctly
[03:07:36] <zeeshan> so i can use all spots
[03:07:42] <zeeshan> i got these for $20
[03:07:43] <zeeshan> !
[03:08:24] <CaptHindsight> inspectors would usually let it pass if we did that on old services
[03:08:49] <zeeshan> im looking at this pic
https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/15418489479/in/photostream/
[03:08:53] <zeeshan> notice the middle two arms?
[03:08:59] <zeeshan> from the A and C bus?
[03:09:06] <zeeshan> i can hook up 2 pole breakers right there
[03:09:10] <zeeshan> which i only need 2
[03:09:24] <CaptHindsight> yeah
[03:09:29] <zeeshan> all the 115vac can go where they already are right now
[03:09:32] <zeeshan> and at the top spot
[03:10:44] <zeeshan> my boss at eaton
[03:10:47] <CaptHindsight> I think I once ran out of room in a 3 phase delta panel and ran 1 20A circuit from B to the neutral
[03:10:52] <zeeshan> would be so mad if he saw me running square d panel
[03:10:52] <zeeshan> lol
[03:11:15] <zeeshan> i dont see why you cant do that?
[03:11:18] <zeeshan> sounds normal
[03:12:01] <zeeshan> btw CaptHindsight about your comment earlier
[03:12:03] <zeeshan> about the shooting
[03:12:09] <CaptHindsight> in a delta A and C would share the neutral, B would only be used with one of the the other phases A or C
[03:12:12] <zeeshan> i finally heard the name of the soldier, and it sounded familiar
[03:12:16] <zeeshan> it was one of my brothers friends
[03:12:16] <zeeshan> :/
[03:12:28] <zeeshan> they werent close
[03:12:30] <zeeshan> but hung out sometimes
[03:12:39] <CaptHindsight> small world sometimes
[03:12:41] <zeeshan> yea man
[03:12:57] <zeeshan> i liked trudeau's speech about it
[03:13:01] <zeeshan> "don't forget we're canadians"
[03:13:05] <zeeshan> "we're a democracy"
[03:13:21] <zeeshan> basically saying, its no time to think irrationally
[03:13:27] <CaptHindsight> back in the 80's we were watching the news and a story came out about two teens that jumped to their deaths...
[03:14:48] <zeeshan> and
[03:15:00] <CaptHindsight> somebody in the room made a comment about the event in a very crude way and one the teens best friends was (unknowingly) sitting next to him
[03:15:19] <CaptHindsight> awkward
[03:15:23] <zeeshan> wow
[03:15:30] <CaptHindsight> you never know
[03:15:53] <zeeshan> i think the saying goes
[03:15:57] <zeeshan> we're connected by like 10 people?
[03:15:58] <zeeshan> or something
[03:16:14] <CaptHindsight> or the 6 degrees

[03:24:52] <ssi> and move and reroute a bunch of crap including the rectifiers in order to make room
[03:25:06] <ssi> was a bit of a hassle
[03:25:07] <ssi> heh
[03:25:07] <Tom_itx> how do you isolate the high voltage from the rest?
[03:25:29] <ssi> there are a couple pours at the top of the board that are the low voltage sections
[03:25:30] <XXCoder> put it in seperate room then lock door
[03:25:32] <ssi> but most of it is high voltage
[03:25:41] <ssi> it's a 700VDC power supply for leds
[03:25:54] <Tom_itx> i never bothered checking what UL etc say about that
[03:26:07] <Tom_itx> i think there's a distance requirement etc
[03:26:26] <Tom_itx> signs?
[03:26:38] <ssi> grow lights :P
[03:26:44] <Tom_itx> heh
[03:26:53] -!- kriskrop1 has quit [Client Quit]
[03:27:01] <ssi> it's .055" trace space for 700V
[03:27:36] <Tom_itx> what's the temp rise on the board?
[03:28:15] <ssi> 10C I think?

[03:28:20] <ssi> I'd have to ask the engineer that did these boards
[03:28:30] <ssi> I'm just reworking a little bit of this one for him
[03:29:21] <Tom_itx> i've never messed with anything more than regular mains
[03:29:40] <Tom_itx> and i'm not sure i did that right... just for my toaster oven
[03:30:38] <ssi> so I'm about to start working on my rev2 coverter board
[03:30:48] <ssi> and I'm debating whether I want to stick with cpld, or put a small fpga on it instead
[03:31:01] <ssi> small spartan6 LX is only $10
[03:31:11] <ssi> i'll need a prom for it, and probably more voltage rails
[03:31:18] <ssi> so it might add $10 or $15 to the total per board cost
[03:31:21] <ssi> but probabl yworth it
[03:31:24] <Tom_itx> which one loads the data externally?
[03:31:28] <ssi> fpga
[03:31:29] <Tom_itx> i can't remember...
[03:31:35] <ssi> cplds have internal flash, fpgas need an external prom
[03:31:40] <Tom_itx> so you'd need a eeprom etc
[03:31:52] <ssi> that's not such a big deal though
[03:32:22] <ssi> I want to put enough hardware on this board that I can use it to experiment with making a smartserial slave
[03:32:39] <Tom_itx> i noticed you talking about that earlier
[03:32:46] <ssi> I think it'd be super neat
[03:33:27] <Tom_itx> yeah
[03:33:42] <ssi> hm for $16 I can move up to the LX9
[03:33:49] <ssi> which is actually the same fpga that's on the new mesa cards
[03:34:02] <ssi> the $11 part is an LX4
[03:34:16] <ssi> 4k LEs vs 9k LEs
[03:35:08] <ssi> it's probably horribly overkill
[03:35:54] <Connor> ssi: Dude, I think you've went down the rabbit hole...
[03:36:00] <ssi> Connor: yeah, it happens :(
[03:36:17] <ssi> spinning a pcb takes long enough and costs enough money that you want to make it do everything!
[03:36:17] <Connor> ssi: Yup.. Happens to me ALL the f**king time.

[03:39:25] <ssi> physically
[03:39:26] <Connor> Yup. I did the same thing
[03:40:04] <ssi> I want to make this one have provisions to take all the feedback signals into the pld, and have wiring options for regular hall motors as well as the fanuc motors
[03:40:46] <Connor> Had to take my iphone 4s apart.. stupid head phone jack was messed up.. I cleaned it and everything and still thought it had ear phones plugged into it.. damn.. talk about tiny ass screws.. that's the second time I've had to tear into that phone.

[03:48:41] <zeeshan> your idea about ripping the guts out from a panel
[03:48:42] <zeeshan> would work
[03:48:57] <zeeshan> but i think you'd need bolt down circuit breakers
[03:49:10] <zeeshan> the guts off these things detatch very easily
[03:49:25] <ssi> hm
[03:49:54] <ssi> I wonder if i should make a provision to run a brake on these boards
[03:49:55] <ssi> that could be neat

[03:53:37] <ssi> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0mlj77CEAAtGdj.png:large
[03:53:45] <ssi> that should cover pretty much any servo I might want to use
[03:54:06] <ssi> or should I include tach lines just for giggles

[03:56:05] <zeeshan> you have tachs?

[15:19:28] <t12> plc documentation uh
[15:19:28] <t12> sec
[15:19:51] <t12> theres references to line, column feeds
[15:20:02] <t12> cam drive and position monitor
[15:20:10] <Loetmichel> i would put that into a dymo printer electronics, and there in the controller for the letter wheel that embosses the characters into the plastic strip
[15:20:47] <t12> i guess this controller drives multiple totally unrelated things
[15:20:54] <ssi> letter pusher controller?
[15:20:55] <t12> but only the few with special documentation
[15:20:55] <ssi> heheh
[15:21:11] <t12> it also drives a bunch of stuff on this microscope
[15:21:27] <Loetmichel> "typrad" -> "letter wheel
[15:21:38] <Loetmichel> präger: embosser

[15:21:58] <t12> cool
[15:21:59] <t12> thanks!
[15:22:06] <t12> hopefully i can get through the document with google translate

[15:50:25] <JT-Shop> nice, all new
[15:50:28] <ssi> yeah
[15:50:33] <ssi> it's chinese stuff, CMI
[15:50:37] <ssi> but seems reasonably nice for the money
[15:50:42] <_methods> hell yeah
[15:50:47] <ssi> it was like $400 for all that, including the collet set
[15:50:55] <_methods> unless you're doing stuff where you need to hold .0001"
[15:51:01] <_methods> that shit will work just fine
[15:51:04] <JT-Shop> I spent a ton on tooling for my VMC
[15:51:18] <ssi> _methods: yeah and if i get there, I'll buy a holder or two for the precision work
[15:51:23] <_methods> yeah
[15:51:30] <ssi> JT-Shop: I spent probably $3k on tooling for my HNC

[15:51:37] <zeeshan> :D

[15:53:03] <ssi> the nickel plate looks cool tho
[15:53:03] <ssi> haha
[15:53:53] <zeeshan> they say <0.0001" concentricity
[15:53:57] <zeeshan> though that being said
[15:53:57] <jdh> pretty is worth a little.
[15:54:02] <zeeshan> i know the chinese are good.
[15:54:07] <zeeshan> chinese are around 0.0005"
[15:54:11] <ssi> the cmi holders were like $40 apiece
[15:54:16] <ssi> the glacern are $130-150
[15:54:22] <zeeshan> you should hook em up on your machine
[15:54:24] <zeeshan> and measure the runout
[15:54:28] <ssi> i will
[15:54:30] <zeeshan> do you has a tenths indicator
[15:54:34] <ssi> yeah, a few
[15:54:50] <zeeshan> how about half a ten thousandths? :D
[15:54:54] <ssi> might
[15:54:58] <ssi> I'd have to look

[16:08:30] <jdh> so far, it's winning.
[16:09:03] <JT-Shop> you don't use a wrench on a pull stud, you need a special socket to install and torque them
[16:09:46] <zeeshan> yea i've seen that at the tool room before
[16:09:50] <zeeshan> a weird looking socket
[16:09:54] <CaptHindsight> I find pull studs sold in lots on ebay for a few $ea, most are new

http://gnipsel.com/images/Discovery-308/
[16:12:58] <zeeshan> thsoe carbide burrs? :D
[16:13:03] <ssi> um, iso looks like it doesn't have a V-flange
[16:13:10] <ssi> do you have an ATC?
[16:13:14] <zeeshan> no atc
[16:13:19] <zeeshan> its just hydraulic drawbar
[16:13:21] <ssi> then you can probbaly run any of the 40 taper tools
[16:13:56] <ssi> I know that my machine can run BT40 or CAT40, but you sort of have to set up for one or the other, because the toolchange height is different
[16:14:14] <zeeshan> it looks like bt40, cat40 , iso40
[16:14:19] <zeeshan> all are threaded to m16..
[16:14:27] <ssi> CAT is usually 5/8
[16:14:34] <zeeshan> "ansi/cat 40"
[16:14:38] <zeeshan> in this chart
[16:15:08] <ssi> BT40 is british tooling, it's metric, then caterpillar made their own standard with the same taper and dimensions, changed the flange and the pullstud thread and called it cat40
[16:15:32] <zeeshan> cat40/bt40/iso40 looks like 68.25/65.4/75mm in height
[16:15:54] <zeeshan> ssi by the flange
[16:16:00] <zeeshan> youre talking about the position of where the dog teeth engage right
[16:16:06] <ssi> the taper's the same on all of them, the thing you need to be worried about is the distance from the top of the flange to the gage line, and the drive notch
[16:16:10] <ssi> yes
[16:16:16] <zeeshan> from the centerline of cat40 vs bt40 its 22.6 vs 22.5 mm
[16:16:21] <zeeshan> and 22.5 mm for iso 40
[16:16:28] <zeeshan> so i think the dog teeth will work the same in all 3
[16:16:39] <zeeshan> they are slightly fatter though
[16:16:43] <zeeshan> the keys themself..
[16:17:06] <ssi> yea I dunno
[16:17:14] <ssi> safest bet is to get iso40 holders
[16:17:15] <ssi> heh
[16:17:17] <JT-Shop> carbide burrs?
[16:17:17] <zeeshan> key width 16.4 (cat40), 16.1(bt40), 16.1(iso40)
[16:17:34] <zeeshan> ssi they are hard to find
[16:17:37] <zeeshan> bt40 is everywhere
[16:17:40] <JT-Shop> the second photo is taps and tap drills and some insert holders
[16:17:41] <zeeshan> same with cat

[16:27:22] <zeeshan> i was thinking of moving them into the box
[16:27:25] <zeeshan> with the sensitive electronics

[16:27:40] <zeeshan> in their place
[16:28:26] <ssi> if you're going to go to the trouble to have noise isolation for your electronics, I'd keep the drives on the outside of it
[16:29:09] <zeeshan> okay
[16:29:20] <zeeshan> will need to find a place to put the fuse holders somewhere

[16:31:12] <zeeshan> what kind of cable are you using to power your drives
[16:31:18] <zeeshan> it looks like the same cable that goes into a computer psu
[16:31:22] <ssi> yeah it is
[16:31:22] <zeeshan> but those are like 14 awg
[16:31:25] <zeeshan> arent they
[16:31:31] <ssi> they come in many flavors
[16:31:35] <zeeshan> ah i didnt know that

[16:38:23] <ssi> I know
[16:38:27] <ReadError> i changed it a few months back

[16:38:58] <zeeshan> document properties
[16:38:59] <zeeshan> units
[16:39:33] <zeeshan> thats one thing i dont like about inventor..
[16:39:38] <zeeshan> i have yet to find a person
[16:39:43] <zeeshan> who can convert units on the fly
[16:39:50] <zeeshan> so if you start a mm drawing, you cant change units
[16:39:53] <zeeshan> but in solidworks you can do it
[16:40:59] <_methods> they still haven't changed that?
[16:41:23] <zeeshan> i guess not
[16:41:27] <_methods> you couldn't open 4 view windows either for when you're working on stuff from a bunch of diff angles
[16:43:42] <zeeshan> the one thing i really like about inventor
[16:43:44] <zeeshan> is sheet metal
[16:44:07] <_methods> yeah there are some sheet metal things i like better
[16:44:17] <_methods> i like where you can connect to separate bodies

[16:45:04] <ssi> unfortunately the only brake I have access to isn't great, you can't change the bend radius allowance
[16:45:12] -!- jduhls has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
[16:45:34] <_methods> what's that have to do with the brake
[16:45:40] <zeeshan> i waas wondering
[16:45:41] <zeeshan> that too :P
[16:46:00] <ssi> you can't move the fingers back from the corner
[16:46:12] <ssi> so it attempts to make an infinitely small bend radius regardless of sheet thickness
[16:46:36] <_methods> you can't just plug in your centerline for the hit?
[16:46:56] <ssi> eh?
[16:47:04] <ssi> I'm not talking cad
[16:47:07] <_methods> where you bend is called the hitline
[16:47:08] <ssi> I'm talking fabrication
[16:47:21] <_methods> or bendlie
[16:47:34] <_methods> yeah i'm talkig about fab too
[16:47:45] <_methods> your break doesn't care about the bend radius
[16:47:49] <_methods> it just goes up and down
[16:48:15] <ssi> it's not a press brake
[16:48:21] <zeeshan> i thought the fingers dictated
[16:48:23] <zeeshan> the bend radius
[16:48:23] <_methods> pan brake?
[16:48:25] <ssi> yes
[16:48:37] <_methods> yeah so you're bending sharp
[16:48:54] <_methods> you just need to plug that into your cad
[16:49:00] <ssi> ok
[16:49:10] <ssi> when I get to it I'll have more questions I'm sure :P
[16:49:11] <zeeshan> it takes forever
[16:49:13] <_methods> whatever radius you're making put that in your cad
[16:49:14] <zeeshan> to set it up in cad
[16:49:23] <zeeshan> i think trial and error is quickest
[16:49:26] <_methods> it's not that hard to set up in cad
[16:49:28] <zeeshan> setup a drawing in cad
[16:49:31] <zeeshan> go bend it
[16:49:33] <zeeshan> find the difference
[16:49:37] <_methods> for steel i just use .43 for kfactor
[16:49:37] <zeeshan> fiddle wit hthe K factor
[16:49:42] <_methods> and alum i use .5
[16:49:56] <_methods> stick with that and from there it's just small adjustment
[16:50:03] <ssi> zeeshan: it's gonna be more annoying than that
[16:50:06] <_methods> if you have to be dead on you can cut test strips
[16:50:11] <ssi> cause my plasma cutter is here, and the brake is at the airport
[16:50:15] <zeeshan> LOL
[16:50:17] <zeeshan> :D
[16:50:25] <ssi> maybe I ought to wait til I can get the plasma table moved
[16:50:26] <zeeshan> well im sure your bends dont need to be stupid accurate
[16:50:30] <ssi> no they don't
[16:50:36] <ssi> I just want to make a box for the control station for the vmc
[16:50:39] <zeeshan> so methods values will get you in the ball park
[16:50:46] <ssi> 20g CR sheet
[16:50:56] <zeeshan> i can't see it being out by more than 1/16 "
[16:51:02] <_methods> nah
[16:51:18] <_methods> 20ga is cake
[16:51:39] <_methods> shit you could probably bend that with a straight edge and a table
[16:51:54] <zeeshan> haha
[16:51:55] <_methods> hardly ever get work that light
[16:52:10] <zeeshan> anyway, if you really need precise bends
[16:52:11] <_methods> 18 ga is heaven
[16:52:12] <zeeshan> within 15 thou or so
[16:52:27] <zeeshan> you usually start with the K factor formula
[16:52:45] <zeeshan> which is depending on bend radius, material thickness, bend allowance
[16:52:47] <zeeshan> and one more factor
[16:52:50] <zeeshan> um
[16:52:51] <zeeshan> bend angle
[16:53:17] <zeeshan> then you go do a test bend, and then find the difference and modify it in your cad, and do it once more to verify
[16:53:18] <_methods> lol don't make it more complicated than it needs to be
[16:53:23] <zeeshan> it sucks cause you gotta do this for all your thicknesses
[16:53:25] <_methods> .5 for alum
[16:53:30] <_methods> .43 for steel
[16:53:32] <_methods> life is good
[16:53:51] <ssi> _methods: I'll play with it
[16:54:08] <_methods> try and get your cad radius as close as possible to what your real life radius is
[16:54:09] <ssi> I hope the 20g is heavy enough for what I want
[16:54:13] <zeeshan> http://sheetmetal.me/k-factor/
[16:54:18] <_methods> i'm assuming you have limited fingers
[16:54:20] <zeeshan> this pretty much laid out the procedure i followed
[16:54:20] <ssi> I'll cut a couple coupons and take them down and bend them
[16:54:35] <ssi> _methods: oh I'm sure they're limited, but in what capacity do you mean? :)
[16:54:44] <_methods> the sharp
[16:54:50] <_methods> the radius on the fingers
[16:54:56] <ssi> yeah there's only one set of fingers and I think they're all pretty small radius
[16:55:02] <_methods> yeah
[16:55:16] <_methods> you can get other fingers if you want to get a certain inside radius
[16:55:26] <ssi> that's not likely to happen
[16:55:28] <ssi> this isn't my brake btw
[16:55:40] <ssi> it's Dan's, and he's done nothing but complain about how terrible it is
[16:55:45] <ssi> possibly he just doesn't know how to run it
[16:55:47] <ssi> god knows I don't
[16:55:49] <_methods> yeah just bend something in the material you plan to use
[16:55:56] <_methods> then put a radius ga on it
[16:56:08] <ssi> yea I can do that
[16:56:10] <_methods> then use that radius in your cad models to develop your flats
[16:56:39] <_methods> how many bends on the parts you're doign?
[16:56:46] <zeeshan> ssi how much weight is in the control box
[16:57:11] <ssi> _methods: I dunno yet, I gotta figure out what the most practical way to make it is
[16:57:19] <_methods> kk
[16:57:38] <ssi> zeeshan: um, a 22" lcd that my calibrated arm says weighs six pounds
[16:57:44] <ssi> a mini itx pc that's under a pound
[16:57:53] <ssi> and whatever switches I want to put in the front panel
[16:58:01] <ssi> honestly it won't be that much
[16:58:06] <zeeshan> 20 gauge sounds good :P

[18:10:58] <zeeshan> connor when you're taking high G turns the fuel sloshes in the fuel tank, this thing acts like a buffer for the fuel to be stored during those high g turns

[18:45:37] <CaptHindsight> that was quick
[18:45:42] <Connor> paid for the machine.
[18:46:23] <Connor> You wasn't going to try to re-use the existing servo's ?
[18:46:27] <zeeshan> i was

[18:47:33] <zeeshan> but it'll get done
[18:47:51] <ssi> yeah you have to build a mathematical model of everything in the system before you can tune
[18:47:53] <CaptHindsight> the Parker GV's are nice, you might want to avoid the GV6's
[18:47:54] <ssi> it's gonna take awhile

[18:50:44] <ssi> you know how they do FEA on airplane wings?
[18:50:47] <Connor> Maybe. Sometimes.. people like to use experience and instinct.
[18:50:56] <ssi> they build what they think will work
[18:50:59] <zeeshan> connor that may work great for non critical things
[18:51:03] <ssi> then they flip it over and stack sandbags on it til it breaks
[18:51:21] <ssi> unless they're boeing, in which case they build a giant fixture and pull the wingtips up til it breaks

[18:53:01] <ssi> 150 what I dunno heh
[18:53:11] <zeeshan> hopefully 150k lb
[18:53:16] <ssi> oh no it's WAY more than that
[18:53:31] <Connor> 154
[18:53:42] <pcw_home> Ziegler Nichols is basically a waste of time on velocity mode servos
[18:53:47] <ssi> 777 in its biggest config has a gross of like 800k
[18:53:56] <ssi> and it's probably certified to 3.8G, meaning it's designed for twice that
[18:53:58] <zeeshan> pcw_home: why
[18:54:06] <Connor> it's more than 3 points.. it's distributed.. look around 1:16

[18:55:32] <pcw_home> because a velocity mode servo has nested loops which are best tuned individually
[18:55:55] <zeeshan> pcw_home: i will ask you for help when tuning :P
[18:56:07] <ssi> it's really not that hard
[18:56:19] <ssi> I drove myself nuts the first time I did it because I had read all about PID and control theory
[18:56:26] <ssi> but with FF you rarely even need I/D terms
[18:56:46] <ssi> I've told you this like three times, and every time you end up telling me I'm an idiot, so I'm hesitant to say it again, but:
[18:56:55] <pcw_home> velocity mode drives are easy (if the drive is tuned no D or I is needed)
[18:57:05] <ssi> run the motor open loop, turn up the loop gain til the motor oscillates, then back it off
[18:57:13] <ssi> trim the offset pot until it stops drifting
[18:57:25] <ssi> then get it closed loop with a huge ferror, watch the ferror in halscope
[18:57:35] <ssi> trim the offset even finer to get the ferror at 0 with no command input
[18:57:51] <ssi> run the axis in a long reasonably fast cruise, long enough that you stop accelerating for awhile
[18:57:56] <ssi> increase FF1 to null the velocity offset
[18:58:08] <ssi> then tweak FF2 to null any accel error
[18:58:09] <ssi> done.
[18:58:26] <zeeshan> areyou talking about the position loop tuning
[18:58:28] <zeeshan> or velocity loop
[18:58:30] <ssi> both
[18:58:37] <zeeshan> how do you adjust ff1
[18:58:41] <zeeshan> when the drives only have pid
[18:58:41] <ssi> the velocity tuning is done on the drive
[18:59:04] <ssi> the position tuning is done in linuxcnc
[18:59:15] <ssi> sorry I left out a step
[18:59:28] <ssi> that step is increase P in the position loop until it oscillates
[18:59:31] <ssi> then back off
[18:59:31] <zeeshan> but the amc drivves dont have FF
[18:59:51] <ssi> for a smart guy, your reading comprehension sucks
[19:00:13] <ssi> the amc drives have velocity loop gain and offset
[19:00:15] <ssi> that's all you have to touch

[19:03:49] <zeeshan> ssi, dont you adjust D too
[19:03:54] <zeeshan> on the drives, to reduce settling time
[19:04:32] -!- zeitue has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[19:04:40] <ssi> no
[19:09:06] <ssi> ugh I designed and cut a test batch of those endcaps and gasket for pp for next to nothing, and they turned around and had someone else lasercut the production run
[19:09:09] <ssi> bastards
[19:09:48] <zeeshan> basically what im getting from that article
[19:10:10] <zeeshan> is ZN is an approximation
[19:10:24] <zeeshan> and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt
[19:10:26] <zeeshan> depending on your system
[19:10:40] <ssi> here's the most salient point I think is made in there:
[19:10:40] <ssi> Inconsistent design goals. The Ziegler-Nichols tuning rule is meant to give your PID loops best disturbance rejection performance. This setting typically does not give very good command tracking performance. It is easy to pick a tuning rule that is poor for the application, and you might not realize it.
[19:10:56] <zeeshan> so for more complex systems you to get the transfer functions
[19:10:56] <jdh> I beat the series 6 plc into submission!
[19:11:17] <jdh> for more complex systems, you apply art.
[19:11:22] <ssi> also a lot of these rules assume pure-PID controllers
[19:11:43] <ssi> and we're fortunate enough to have controllers that are prescient, and therefore FF-capable
[19:11:44] <zeeshan> ssi i dont see why you dont adjust D on the drive
[19:11:45] <jdh> ZN is a place to start
[19:11:46] <zeeshan> to reduce settling
[19:12:32] <ssi> zeeshan: a) I don't know how you can adjust D on the drive; it might have the option via PTH part trimming
[19:12:49] <ssi> b) even measuring settling time would require more work than it's likely worth
[19:12:52] <zeeshan> arent there 3 knobs
[19:12:58] <ssi> there's four
[19:13:05] <zeeshan> P I D gains
[19:13:07] <ssi> offset, reference gain, current limit, and loop gain
[19:13:07] <zeeshan> whats the 4th
[19:13:14] <zeeshan> o
[19:13:25] <ssi> you're really really really overthinking this
[19:13:35] <zeeshan> i want the velocity loop to be perfect!
[19:13:55] <ssi> as far as I'm concerned, if it's stiff and doesn't drift, it's perfect
[19:13:58] <ssi> and that's pretty easy to do
[19:14:29] <zeeshan> too bad we can't do this
[19:14:30] <zeeshan> without drive

[19:24:20] <zeeshan> so 2 different manufacturers recommended similar
[19:24:23] <zeeshan> but slightly different pull studs
[19:24:33] <ssi> odd
[19:24:37] <zeeshan> the major difference i see is the radius .118 on the right one
[19:24:46] <zeeshan> and the left one has a big chamfer instead
[19:25:07] <zeeshan> everything else looks reasonably the same
[19:25:08] <ssi> I think the important thing is the angle under the head and the length
[19:25:23] <ssi> the champher vs radius is likely just a manufacturing difference
[19:25:24] <zeeshan> the 1.024" dimension?
[19:25:31] <ssi> .787 actually
[19:26:01] <ssi> in the books for my mill, the drawings specifically call out that particular dimension as the one to look at when buying studs
[19:26:06] <ssi> and that seems to be the dominant dimension
[19:26:17] <ssi> http://www.shars.com/products/view/7589/CAT_40_45_0594_Pull_Stud_Retention_Knob_For_Cincinnati
[19:26:18] <zeeshan> based on the tolerance on it
[19:26:21] <zeeshan> it looks important :P
[19:26:22] <ssi> 1.139" on mine
[19:26:35] <ssi> that length and the angle under the knob
[19:26:44] <zeeshan> to the 15 deg
[19:26:46] <zeeshan> in my case
[19:26:47] <ssi> yep
[19:26:49] <ssi> 45 in mine
[19:27:10] <ssi> cause that's the surface that's actually bearing the load when the drawbar retracts
[19:27:22] <zeeshan> ahh
[19:27:35] <ssi> it needs to be the right angle for engagement, and in the right place so it's at the proper position in its stroke when the taper is seated
[19:27:46] <ssi> if you get that wrong, it can very well jam up in the machine and be impossible to remove, or break off
[19:27:52] <ssi> and then you are entering a world of pain :)
[19:28:17] <ssi> this is what happens, zeeshan, when you find a stranger in the alps
[19:28:32] <zeeshan> damn knobs
[19:28:51] <ssi> yeah they're annoying
[19:29:10] <ssi> I need to get my hands on a pullstud socket
[19:29:16] <ssi> and an ER32 chuck wrench
[19:29:21] <ssi> and a spanner to fit my spindle nut
[19:29:35] <zeeshan> i think im gonna steal these designs
[19:29:38] <zeeshan> and just machine some on the lathe
[19:29:39] <zeeshan> lol
[19:29:45] <zeeshan> and heat treat them at school
[19:29:56] <ssi> heh figure out how much you'd want for them, you can make me a batch :P
[19:30:06] <zeeshan> and youre right
[19:30:10] <zeeshan> 18 bux a pop for this
[19:30:11] <zeeshan> is retarded
[19:30:15] <ssi> I could turn them on the hnc pretty well but I don't have the ability to heat treat
[19:30:28] <ssi> yeah I just bought eight from shars, and shars are $8.50 apiece which isn't bad, but $17 shipping
[19:30:33] <zeeshan> i think you can make these out of a2 tool steel
[19:30:34] <ssi> was like $90 shipped
[19:30:44] <zeeshan> bring up to 1450 f hold for 15 min
[19:30:52] <ssi> to do it right they'd really need to be final ground
[19:30:54] <zeeshan> 1750 hold for 15 min, allow to cool

[19:31:19] <zeeshan> the dimension that worries me

[19:31:24] <zeeshan> youre right
[19:31:26] <zeeshan> it'll distort
[19:31:38] <zeeshan> i need to install a grinder on the lathe
[19:31:53] <ssi> I could cut a wheel with a 45 degree face
[19:31:59] <ssi> and spin them on my surface grinder in a spindex
[19:32:26] <ssi> I had a plan to try to make TTS style toolholders and heat treat them
[19:32:45] <zeeshan> fak TTS!!
[19:32:57] <zeeshan> we have a real tool holder :P
[19:33:07] <ssi> well yeah I do now
[19:33:11] <zeeshan> it still messes with me
[19:33:12] <ssi> it was gonna be for my g0704
[19:33:14] <ssi> which still ilsn't finshed
[19:33:24] <zeeshan> how a 2" boring head doesnt not fly out of the the tts

[19:35:46] <zeeshan> *torqued
[19:35:50] <ssi> yeah
[19:35:53] <ssi> the torque is important too
[19:36:07] <zeeshan> loctite it!
[19:36:16] <ssi> some people do
[19:36:43] <zeeshan> dont buy that

[19:40:03] <zeeshan> they used to!
[19:40:27] <ssi> northern doesn't seem to either

[19:41:56] <ssi> $5, or free with some purchase
[19:42:19] <ssi> the jh williams ones look perfect
[19:42:26] <zeeshan> lol sthats so cheap
[19:43:11] <ssi> hm actually mcmaster has an adjustable hook spanner like that
[19:43:17] <ssi> but one wrench is as much as that whole jh williams set
[19:43:41] <zeeshan> i have so many kinds of those spanner wrenches now
[19:43:46] <zeeshan> because coilovers in cars
[19:43:54] <zeeshan> installed so many of them that people dont keep their wrenches haha
[19:44:00] <zeeshan> and theyre all slightly different
[19:44:14] <zeeshan> yet i dont still have a single adjustable one :|/
[19:44:15] <ssi> haha so this perfectly illustrates my earlier point
[19:44:16] <ssi> http://www.mcmaster.com/#5471a21/=ua3arw
[19:44:23] <ssi> $119 for a set
[19:44:24] <zeeshan> 119$
[19:44:25] <zeeshan> hahaha

[19:44:51] <zeeshan> armstrong is good stuff

[20:29:48] <roycroft> have any of you used binocular dental loupes in the shop?
[20:30:16] <roycroft> i like my optivisors, but i'd like to get good magnification at a greater distance sometimes
[20:30:49] <roycroft> i'm looking at something like this:
[20:30:53] <roycroft> http://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-6-0x-Dental-Loupes-Loupe-Surgical-Medical-Dentistry-Nickel-Alloy-Frame-420mm-/181367745664?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276
[20:31:07] <roycroft> 420mm working distance is nice
[20:32:34] postaL_offline is now known as postaL
[20:36:34] <ssi> roycroft: that could be handy
[20:36:39] <ssi> 420mm seems a bit long though
[20:36:46] <ssi> that's like arm's length
[20:39:35] <roycroft> i haven't seen anything in between
[20:40:06] <roycroft> a 6x diopter simple loupe is going to have a focal length of about 40mm
[20:40:14] <roycroft> which is way too close for a lot of things
[20:40:30] <roycroft> 200mm would be ideal
[20:41:38] <roycroft> i'm a little reluctant to drop $150 on something like that without knowing of other folks' experiences with them
[20:43:35] <ssi> yeah

[20:56:15] <ssi> man this is a goofy situation
[20:56:30] <ssi> the company that I'm doing some work for needs some stuff laser or waterjet cut
[20:56:43] <ssi> I got introduced to the owner through a guy I used to work with who has a laser
[20:57:04] <ssi> I designed the part that's getting cut, and I cut a test batch of 36 sets for them
[20:57:14] <ssi> now the owner wants to use his buddy to do the actual work
[20:57:20] <_methods> you need a production run cut?
[20:57:22] <_methods> oh
[20:57:40] <jthornton> been there before and it sucks
[20:57:45] <ssi> the EE they ended up hiring to do fulltime pcb work cause I didn't have time is a friend of mine
[20:57:54] <ssi> and he sent me the quote they got from the other laser guy
[20:57:58] <ssi> and I can beat it by a lot
[20:58:12] <ssi> he quoted $1.45 apiece for the parts, and the material cost is about 8c
[20:58:18] <jthornton> did they ask you for a quote?
[20:58:21] <ssi> no
[20:58:46] <jthornton> can you laser cut 12 gauge HR sheet?
[20:58:50] <ssi> I wish :(
[20:58:59] <_methods> 12ga?
[20:59:13] <jthornton> 0.105"
[20:59:22] <_methods> yeah i know it's just not a usual ga
[20:59:32] <jthornton> sure it is
[20:59:37] <_methods> most times you see 10, 11, 14,16, 18
[20:59:41] <ssi> jthornton: I haven't found the magic for cutting metal yet
[20:59:43] <_methods> 12 and 13 get skipped
[20:59:50] <ssi> the theory says it might be possible
[20:59:59] <ssi> I tried to cut some 28ga cr sheet
[21:00:02] <_methods> they make 12 and 13 but it's not as common
[21:00:16] <zeeshan> ssi referred to theory
[21:00:18] <zeeshan> oh noessss
[21:00:25] <ssi> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxMAiYAIUAAfUAM.jpg:large
[21:00:31] <ssi> I marked it enough you can catch with a fingernail
[21:00:32] <_methods> i always see kid engineers using 12 and 13 ga
[21:00:34] <ssi> but it certainly didn't cut
[21:00:35] <_methods> or 8ga lol
[21:00:43] <_methods> that's my fav
[21:00:44] <zeeshan> at least you can engrave metal!

[21:02:51] <zeeshan> for metal
[21:02:57] <ssi> far more precise
[21:04:26] <zeeshan> i never understood why people use thc
[21:04:37] <ssi> why wouldn't you?
[21:04:39] <zeeshan> like can't you just enter the thickness of the metal
[21:04:43] <zeeshan> to compensate

[21:52:59] <_DannyK_> yep

[22:04:01] <_DannyK_> haha, J/k going now
[22:04:03] <roycroft> i couldn't see it through the rain and fog and clouds
[22:04:33] <_methods> there's like real world stuff in the way
[22:11:32] <ssi> hate that
[22:18:44] <roycroft> i found some 320mm loupes
[22:18:49] <roycroft> that would be much better
[22:19:03] <roycroft> and they're a lot less expensive
[22:19:14] <zeeshan> um
[22:19:19] <zeeshan> i just bought some "3 gauge cable"
[22:19:29] <zeeshan> and i measure the diameter of the conductor, its 7 strands
[22:19:37] <zeeshan> and im measuring .1865"
[22:20:00] <zeeshan> online it says conductor diameter .2294"
[22:20:03] <zeeshan> for 3 gauge..
[22:21:39] <_methods> wow man
[22:21:41] <ssi> lol
[22:22:01] <zeeshan> WTF
[22:22:15] <_methods> take it back man
[22:22:17] <ssi> what's the strand diameter?
[22:22:18] <_methods> call them out
[22:22:25] <_methods> call ietf
[22:22:32] <_methods> eei
[22:22:35] <_methods> eela
[22:22:37] <_methods> eula
[22:22:50] <_methods> this won't stand
[22:23:01] <zeeshan> lemme check ssi
[22:24:50] <roycroft> imperial or american gauge?
[22:28:21] <ssi> roycroft: nice try but swg is actually bigger than awg!
[22:28:35] <ssi> 3swg is supposed to be 0.252" diameter
[22:29:27] -!- skorasaurus has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[22:29:51] <_DannyK_> Gauge is based on current of material, which was always odd to me.
[22:30:17] <_DannyK_> Sizes will vary for sure..
[22:30:45] <_DannyK_> Though you, sir, probably got screwed. Sorry..
[22:31:17] <zeeshan> 0.055" diameter per strand
[22:31:19] <zeeshan> 7 strands
[22:33:02] <ssi> so that's 3.025kcmil per strand
[22:33:09] <ssi> or 21.175kcmil
[22:33:23] <ssi> ew
[22:33:38] <ssi> I dunno if this math works actually
[22:33:40] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[22:33:50] <ssi> cause 3awg is supposed to be 53kcmil

[22:34:08] <zeeshan> should be the area i think
[22:34:19] <ssi> yeah but cmil don't work that way exactly
[22:34:22] <ssi> figure it in mm^2
[22:34:44] <_DannyK_> errr, ahhh, I got it... It's a super conductor...
[22:34:44] <zeeshan> 10.73 mm^2
[22:34:48] <ssi> 13.7?
[22:34:49] <ssi> hm
[22:34:52] <_methods> hehe
[22:34:59] <ssi> either way that's way too small
[22:35:00] <zeeshan> i got fucked
[22:35:04] <ssi> yeah sounds like it
[22:35:12] <_methods> yeah they superconducted money out of his wallet
[22:35:15] <ssi> sounds like you got #6
[22:35:20] <_DannyK_> haha
[22:35:27] <ssi> my #6 is 7 strands
[22:35:33] <zeeshan> same here
[22:35:34] <ssi> and #6 is listed as 13.3mm^2
[22:35:39] <zeeshan> i have that thhn cable
[22:35:44] <zeeshan> thats #6 and it looks exactly like this
[22:35:48] <ssi> yeah
[22:35:56] <zeeshan> tahts why stepped back a bit.
[22:36:11] <ssi> I guess that guy thinks you should run #6 as well ;)
[22:36:20] <zeeshan> i would run it
[22:36:22] <zeeshan> but i wanna power the other side
[22:36:30] <zeeshan> more than i need so i can hook up some other 240v circuits
[22:36:31] <zeeshan> like bead roller
[22:36:42] <ssi> if it makes you feel any better, I tihnk I paid more than that for 6/3
[22:36:47] <ssi> from home depot :P
[22:37:04] <zeeshan> yea its rape!
[22:37:08] <zeeshan> armor?
[22:37:25] <_DannyK_> gonna use then simultaneously, zeehan?
[22:37:28] <ssi> no, just romex or wtfever it is these days
[22:37:36] <zeeshan> _DannyK_: maybe
[22:37:36] <ssi> I pulled it in 3/4" armor flex conduit tho
[22:37:52] <zeeshan> this guy wont respond back to me now
[22:37:52] <zeeshan> lol
[22:37:53] <ssi> was easier that way... pulled it in a straight line, then ran it as armored cable
[22:43:52] <ssi> ok 40 seconds apiece of machine time for these
[22:45:22] <ssi> eesh I don't like the way those numbers sound
[22:45:28] <ssi> I gotta figure out how to get more feedrate out of it
[22:46:13] <ssi> that's 136 hours of run time just for the acrylic parts
[22:46:13] <_methods> what are you doing?
[22:46:22] <ssi> _methods: trying to quote this laser job
[22:46:26] <_methods> ahh
[22:46:38] <_methods> qty?
[22:46:43] <ssi> 6160 sets
[22:46:46] <ssi> four parts per set
[22:46:50] <_methods> wow big run
[22:47:10] <ssi> they want 1320 of them in the first run
[22:47:15] <ssi> so let me think about that run first
[22:47:18] <_methods> thickness
[22:47:36] <_methods> can you stack sheets?
[22:47:39] <ssi> 1/4"
[22:47:40] <ssi> hm
[22:47:46] <ssi> hadn't tried it, but it might be possible
[22:47:48] <_methods> i don't know naythig about those lasers
[22:47:55] <ssi> I can cut 1/2" plywood, I don't see why I couldn't cut 1/2" acrylic
[22:47:57] <_methods> i used to stack sheets on plasma
[22:48:21] <_methods> definitely try test cuts first
[22:48:24] <_methods> and check accuracy
[22:48:28] <ssi> yeah I will
[22:48:30] <_methods> it will usually cause issues
[22:48:44] <_DannyK_> I know you fixed your 7i77, what was the replacement part ssi?
[22:48:45] <ssi> that's a great idea though
[22:48:54] <ssi> _DannyK_: the gate driver, 74ACT04
[22:49:12] <_methods> i used to stack on waterjet too sometimes
[22:49:16] <_methods> but it's way more dangerous
[22:49:18] <_DannyK_> in stock?
[22:49:27] <_DannyK_> or do you stock all the items?
[22:49:31] <_methods> plasma used to run stacked pretty good
[22:49:44] <_methods> 14ga and under
[22:49:48] <ssi> _DannyK_: I scavenged it off another board
[22:50:03] <ssi> _methods: ok so I can get 714 parts per 24x36" sheet comfortably
[22:50:06] <_methods> over 14 i used to have real problems with the bottom sheet
[22:50:12] <_DannyK_> ahh, good job, ssi..
[22:50:16] -!- ejb has quit [Quit: ZZZzzz…]
[22:50:33] <_methods> well that's a busy sheet
[22:50:52] <ssi> I'm using 15ipm right now
[22:51:06] <ssi> I can run it 20ipm just fine, but last time I did that the ones further down the beam path didn't cut through
[22:51:20] <ssi> I need to run some test cuts at the lower right and see what my maximum viable feedrate is down there
[22:51:36] <_methods> is that your worst corner
[22:51:38] <ssi> also I should check alignment before I do this job
[22:51:38] <ssi> yeah
[22:53:13] <_methods> hehe yeah bad thing about not having bend optics
[22:53:17] <_methods> corners suck
[22:53:40] <ssi> it's just the total beam path distance
[22:53:50] <ssi> bottom right corner means max X beam length and max Y beam length
[22:53:52] <ssi> so max divergence
[22:53:54] <_methods> yeah
[22:54:06] <_methods> well with bend optics you can change
[22:54:18] <_methods> they put servos on the mirrors
[22:54:23] <_methods> and they squeeze the mirrors
[22:54:27] <_methods> to change it's shape
[22:54:51] <_methods> so as you move around the table it changes the beam

[22:56:21] <_methods> hehe
[22:56:44] <_methods> well do your cut characteristics change the longer you're cutting?
[22:56:52] <_methods> i would think the beam would heat the mirrors
[22:56:58] <_methods> and change your beam
[22:57:08] <_methods> are they water cooled?
[22:57:19] <ssi> hm you know what
[22:57:29] <ssi> 12x24" pieces of acrylic are actually cheaper than 24x36"
[22:57:43] <ssi> $18.80 each for the 12x24, and $59.11 for the 24x36
[22:57:51] <_methods> damn
[22:57:57] <ssi> unless I'm being completely obtuse, 3x 12x24 is the same area, right?
[22:58:01] <_methods> 12x24 plz
[22:58:01] <ssi> cause it's $3 cheaper
[22:58:13] <ssi> I may have more drop with them
[22:58:21] <ssi> but I can run it all closer up to the beam, so faster
[22:58:24] <ssi> might be worthwhile
[22:58:28] <_methods> yeah
[22:58:34] <t12> man
[22:58:35] <_methods> i'd try to run in the best spot

[23:42:24] <_methods> it will show you them side by side
[23:42:31] <_methods> you can add multiple materials
[23:42:43] <_methods> really handy for doing a quick material study for something
[23:42:56] <_DannyK_> yeah, I threw them in there for fun..
[23:43:02] <_DannyK_> Yeah pretty sweet
[23:45:09] <_DannyK_> Thanks again..
[23:47:55] <_methods> np
[23:48:07] <_methods> i use that makeitfrom all the time
[23:48:13] <_methods> it's hardly definitive
[23:48:14] <ssi> _methods: ok i think 30ipm is gonna work up in the good quadrant
[23:48:17] <_methods> but for a quck compare
[23:48:22] <ssi> I like your idea about spinning the sheet
[23:48:29] <_methods> yeah man index that thing
[23:48:35] <ssi> sheetcam simulation is running now
[23:48:44] <ssi> 3909 seconds for a 1/4 sheet
[23:48:47] <_methods> if something happens in a sheet too
[23:48:48] <ssi> 186 parts
[23:48:50] <_methods> it's o biggie
[23:48:54] <_methods> *no
[23:49:03] <ssi> 21 seconds per
[23:49:05] <ssi> got that cut in half :)
[23:49:06] <_methods> but if you have a giant nest it sux
[23:49:23] <ssi> down to 72 hours of machine time for the acrylic parts
[23:49:32] <_methods> wow
[23:49:37] <_methods> that's cosiderably
[23:49:46] <ssi> that's for all 12,400 acrylic parts
[23:49:47] <_methods> wow no can type tonight
[23:50:05] <_methods> well factor in your index time now too
[23:50:15] <ssi> index time won't take much
[23:50:23] <ssi> it'll run for just over an hour per index
[23:50:37] <ssi> so four hours of watching TV with a flip per two episodes will take care of it :)
[23:50:37] <_methods> oh thats not bad then
[23:50:40] <ssi> one sheet
[23:50:46] <ssi> I need to cut sixteen sheets for the job I think
[23:51:40] <_DannyK_> ssi: 4 hours? Almost all the way through Silicon Valley
[23:51:44] <ssi> heheh yeah
[23:51:57] <_methods> mean jerk time
[23:52:08] <_methods> in no time lol
[23:52:12] <ssi> haha
[23:52:16] <_DannyK_> haha
[23:52:45] <zeeshan> dont breathe those acrylic fumes!! :P
[23:52:48] <ssi> meh
[23:53:03] <ssi> I'm going to be made of acrylic fumes by the time this job's done
[23:53:09] <zeeshan> haha
[23:53:12] <ssi> I might need to rig some extra ventilation
[23:53:22] <_DannyK_> did you reach your hydro carbon intake for the month?
[23:53:31] <_methods> hahah
[23:53:53] <_DannyK_> may not need to rig anything
[23:53:55] <_methods> you shoot tape for nozzle alignment?
[23:53:59] <ssi> yeah
[23:54:10] -!- _DannyK_ [_DannyK_!~nicktoolo@24.238.51.30.res-cmts.senj.ptd.net] has parted #linuxcnc
[23:54:14] <ssi> I have a program which jogs to upper left, pops a low power fast pulse, then jogs to lower right and pops another
[23:54:17] <ssi> with M1s in between
[23:54:31] <_methods> cool
[23:54:34] <ssi> I put a piece of tape on a piece of aluminum tape and stick the whole thing over the entracnce to the head
[23:54:41] <ssi> run the program, and see whether the dots coincide
[23:54:57] <_methods> i need to make me a laser
[23:55:00] <ssi> I don't have as nice a way to align the head itself
[23:55:03] <_methods> i'm gonna do that after i do my x2
[23:55:13] <_methods> or plasma
[23:55:19] <_methods> heheh
[23:55:20] <ssi> the laser was pretty easy to put together
[23:55:22] <_methods> laser or plasma
[23:55:26] <ssi> cost about $5k or 6k all up
[23:55:30] <_methods> choices choices
[23:55:37] <ssi> and it's about to pay for itself :)
[23:55:43] <_methods> hell yeah
[23:55:56] <ssi> first real job and it'll be paid for twice over
[23:55:57] <ssi> love it
[23:56:15] <_methods> yeah i might actually have a job for mine
[23:56:24] <_methods> need to build the laser though
[23:57:33] <ssi> get on it!
[23:57:39] <ssi> I need to build a redesigned table
[23:57:42] <ssi> we can collaborate
[23:57:52] <PetefromTn_> yes we can..;)
[23:57:55] <_methods> i gotta finish my x2 first
[23:58:19] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds]
[23:58:28] <_methods> i'm pretty sure i'll do the plasma after that since i'd rather be able to cut metal than plastic and plywood
[23:58:43] <_methods> laser will be last
[23:59:09] -!- asdfasd has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds]
[23:59:52] <zeeshan> what is x2
[23:59:59] <jdh> seig x2 mini-mill
