[00:00:17] <Tom_itx> how often do you have to change tips?
[00:00:35] <Tom_itx> i think i'm running .030 wire right now
[00:01:05] <Tom_itx> either that or .025
[00:01:05] <andypugh> JT-Shop: How did the splitter turn out?
[00:01:05] <JT-Shop> usually they last 30-40 lbs but sometimes 5 minutes and bam they get welded shut
[00:01:31] <Tom_itx> what causes slag buildup around the nozzle?
[00:01:37] <Tom_itx> or is that a common issue
[00:01:42] <JT-Shop> andypugh: still working on it... been delayed by work stuff, customers you know want there machines
[00:01:46] <Tom_itx> maybe i'm sticking it too close
[00:02:18] <JT-Shop> I have a spring loaded cleaner and use some junk that you dip the nozzle in and it helps
[00:02:23] <Tom_itx> i run a 1/2" em thru mine once in a while
[00:02:29] <andypugh> Anti-spatter spray can help
[00:02:40] <JT-Shop> about 1/4" or so works for me
[00:02:51] <JT-Shop> I use the dip
[00:02:55] <Tom_itx> mmm
[00:03:15] <Tom_itx> 1/4" from the work to tip?
[00:03:43] <JT-Shop> yea maybe up to 3/8"... gotta watch the puddle not the arc
[00:03:47] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:03:54] <Tom_itx> sounds about right
[00:04:14] <Tom_itx> well i think i had it pretty close... just wondered
[00:04:44] <Tom_itx> ever try aluminum wire in it?
[00:05:02] <JT-Shop> I have a spool gun for aluminum
[00:05:29] <Tom_itx> probably doesn't work as well as tig on aluminum does it?
[00:06:02] <L84Supper> the motor guy has the controller as well
[00:06:04] <JT-Shop> I tig thin aluminum but once you get thicker than 1/8" the spool gun is king
[00:06:15] <Tom_itx> pure argon?
[00:06:26] <JT-Shop> tig, yea
[00:06:32] <Tom_itx> mig aluminum..

[00:07:54] <Tom_itx> what the heck is that?
[00:08:04] <JT-Shop> nozzle cleaner
[00:08:09] <JT-Shop> works!
[00:08:22] <Tom_itx> i just run a reamer or endmill thru mine
[00:08:28] <JT-Shop> I think they are made down the street from Andy
[00:08:56] <JT-Shop> you pull the black knob back and insert the springs in and give it a twist and your clean

[00:13:26] <L84Supper> what collet did they use?
[00:13:47] <JT-Shop> I love the c-clamp knob
[00:14:18] <PCW> andypugh did you commit the code to display sserial modes?
[00:14:56] <Tom_itx> those are some big honkin collets
[00:14:56] <andypugh> Aye/
[00:15:33] <PCW> were mucking about with the 7i73 code to
[00:15:34] <PCW> 1. support 2 key rollover
[00:15:36] <PCW> 2. list the software modes under the valid hardware modes
[00:16:22] <andypugh> My matrix_kb component supports variable rollover :-)
[00:16:30] <PCW> so at least if you print out the hardware modes is will make a bit more sense
[00:16:35] <L84Supper> the tool holders use AF(acura flex) collets
[00:17:09] <L84Supper> http://www.gpcollets.com/af_collets.html
[00:17:37] <andypugh> My logic is that if your keyboard is wired with diodes so that all scancodes are valid, then the component should cope.

[00:46:20] <andypugh> I don't see how the two spindles thing works.
[00:46:56] <L84Supper> I don't get it either
[00:47:02] <L84Supper> it needs more pics
[00:47:43] <andypugh> I suspect that there is a lot of machine there for $2750
[00:48:18] <L84Supper> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaCiiLpJiO0 this Emco has opposing spindles
[00:48:20] <andypugh> Ah, there is a second tool turret at the bottom.
[00:49:10] <andypugh> Same machine I reckon.
[00:49:35] <L84Supper> might be worth it

[00:58:07] <L84Supper> a good project for a summer intern
[00:58:17] <Tom_itx> that reminds me of the screw machines i used to run
[01:00:10] <Tom_itx> they weren't quite as fancy though
[01:03:13] <andypugh> I wonder if you can run it as an XZ/UW machine, or if the two spindles always have to make the same parts?
[01:03:47] <L84Supper> http://tinyurl.com/bwzgsl9 I like this CNC grinder as well
[01:04:00] <Tom_itx> i suppose it would do what it was programmed to do
[01:04:34] <L84Supper> they appear to be locked together
[01:04:48] <L84Supper> i wish they had more pics
[01:04:51] <Tom_itx> one spindle motor?

http://www.portwell.com/products/Contec_IO.asp#Motor_Control is where they hide the motion control cards

[14:00:46] <cpresser_> it also depends on which kind of OD that 24mm is
[14:00:59] <cpresser_> i have books an tables for 'fits' (
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passung)
[14:01:14] <L84Supper> 0.5mm interference fit!? does he have a large press?
[14:01:34] <jdh> I have a 12? ton press
[14:01:34] <AR__> yes
[14:01:35] <cradek> yeah I don't think that was meant as actual advice

[14:02:57] <cpresser_> most likeley the bearging is "24h7" which indicates its maximimum diameter is 24mm, its minimum is 24mm-0.021mm

[14:03:15] herron is now known as archivist_herron
[14:03:28] <cpresser_> the bore as 24H7 is 24mm+0.021mm
[14:03:47] <cpresser_> which gives you a transition-fit
[14:03:51] <L84Supper> any axial forces?
[14:04:08] <AR__> ok so then at most 23.9mm
[14:04:37] <archivist_herron> press fit is .001 " per inch of diameter as a rule of thumb
[14:04:43] <cradek> I'd guess more like 23.95 (.03-.05 interference)
[14:04:58] <L84Supper> that sounds about right

[14:05:26] <cradek> in Al anyway. for steel you might want it bigger?
[14:05:28] <archivist_herron> but is the bearing designed for press fit or sliding fit
[14:05:41] <AR__> archivist_herron, so a 1" OD will press fit into a .999" ID?
[14:05:48] <cradek> it's true, the bearing manufacturer's opinion would be better than all of ours
[14:05:50] <archivist_herron> the clearance of the balls is different
[14:06:31] <L84Supper> will the axial forces want to push or pull the bearing from the holder?
[14:06:45] <AR__> yes
[14:07:08] <cpresser_> check "DIN ISO 286-1"
[14:07:09] <cradek> I've definitely had bearings get "tight feeling" when press-fit

[14:19:58] <L84Supper> FinboySlick: we used to cram coreboot in 256KB of flash so 1-2MB is enough for coreboot + Linux kernel

[14:35:21] <L84Supper> need some extra counters of some IO for something specific, it's not a problem with Mesa, with portwell you might have to add another board or add an FGPA card to do the same thing

[17:17:18] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: I was watching a few youtubes of people attempting to recylce HD heads into laser galvanometers last night.
[17:21:03] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: hmmm
[17:21:11] <Loetmichel> WAY to much mass
[17:21:17] <Loetmichel> -> to slow ;-)
[17:21:39] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: I agree, though for a ghetto laser show, it'd probably still work.
[17:21:55] <FinboySlick> IF you get rid of the actual head and just use the actuator, which is usually plastic.
[17:22:04] <Loetmichel> with lissajous figures: maybe
[17:22:23] <Loetmichel> with anything "drawn" with right angles: no ;-)
[17:23:39] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: the acuator sits usually on a 1/4" or bigger shaft with two ball bearings
[17:23:56] <FinboySlick> Do they make piezo-actuated galvanometer? For a set scan rate, I'd assume those would be very fast.
[17:24:05] <Loetmichel> that alone has to much mass for anything abpve a few kHz ;-)
[17:24:29] <FinboySlick> They'd have to be very small to get any meaningful angle.
[17:24:54] <Loetmichel> not necessarily
[17:24:59] <Loetmichel> man piezo stack
[17:25:39] <FinboySlick> There'd be a mass advantage to make them small too though.
[17:26:31] <Loetmichel> thats right
[17:26:37] <FinboySlick> I imagine that this is how DLP works, piezo-actuated mirrors.
[17:26:51] <Loetmichel> but jou have to stay bigger than the laser dot ;-)
[17:27:15] <L84Supper> yeah, they make piezo galvo type mirrors
[17:28:27] <Loetmichel> right, dlp = masses of VERY tiny piezo mirrors on a SI-bed

[17:51:05] <L84Supper> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4HG6v29UY Casio Laser projector burns some stuff
[17:51:44] <pcw_home> I looked a little at white led on/off times and may are quite fast so 1 Usec pulses are possible (With some yellow tailing)
[17:51:49] <IchGuckLive> the co2 lasers got belw 400USD so it will be part of time to be CNC stufff
[17:52:00] <pcw_home> s/may/many/
[17:52:42] <L84Supper> high power LED prices are dropping like rocks
[17:52:48] <pcw_home> so a 100W (about $22) white LED might be a pretty decent strobe down to 1 usec or so
[17:53:06] <pcw_home> blue is good to 10 nS or so
[17:53:44] <L84Supper> 2 months ago I paid $30 for a 1w 405nm, yesterday I paid $3
[17:53:45] <IchGuckLive> the 100W china Neodyn lasers are also afortable
[17:53:49] <pcw_home> (assumin you have a decent driver)
[17:55:39] <pcw_home> Dont know about the white ones, but you can overdrive about 5X current for short duty cycles and get maybe 3X flux
[17:55:50] <pcw_home> (on blue)
[17:56:39] <L84Supper> it's however you can cool them is pretty much the limiting factor
[17:56:49] <pcw_home> No need
[17:57:17] <pcw_home> were talking 1% or lower duty cycles

[18:03:31] <L84Supper> doesn't stop a patent anymore
[18:04:01] <L84Supper> they just file and many get approved with the attitude to let the courts sort it out
[18:05:04] <IchGuckLive> pcw_home: is a modern PC cooler enoph to cool a 100W LED
[18:07:02] <pcw_home> I think so , that seems to be what people use
[18:07:51] <IchGuckLive> 35V is pretty high at 3.5A
[18:10:14] <pcw_home> well that 100W in, not sure what the luminous efficiency is by most of that winds up as heat

[18:13:29] <IchGuckLive> ice mashines and aircooler drops that 2 65%
[18:14:03] <IchGuckLive> so the south states wil get solar powerd up to 95%
[18:14:58] <pcw_home> FinboySlick: a couple of those and a blue laser would make a nice photo-polymer 3d setup
[18:15:10] <andypugh> FinboySlick: They don't show it, but I think that a gymbal-style arrangment ought to allow 2D scannning?
[18:16:56] <FinboySlick> pcw_home: That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if they make fpga big enough to store a decent frame buffer. Two chips, one fpga and a laser gets you a complete setup you can just push slices to.
[18:17:47] <pcw_home> My dentist gave me a bit of the tooth repair photopolymer to hold in my hand while he hardened it with the blue LED

[23:01:46] <Tom_itx> you sure it's extruded?
[23:01:54] <Tom_itx> kinda have my doubts
[23:01:59] <gmag> Tom_itx, what do you mean
[23:02:08] <gmag> the cork is extruded
[23:03:05] <gmag> to make stoppers are made by extrusion
[23:03:19] <cpresser_> i dont understand how it would work. cork itself has no cohesion
[23:03:52] <gmag> cpresser_, they mix other stuff
[23:04:12] <gmag> stoppers are not made of pure cork
[23:04:34] <gmag> there's silicon and paraffin
[23:05:21] <gmag> cork is baked, mixed with these other "ingredients" and then extruded
[23:05:24] <cpresser_> are you sure its free-form extruded? i would rather guess it gets molded

[23:09:42] <gmag> cpresser_, that stopper you're thinking about is a very expensive one
[23:09:51] <gmag> you dont see it often
[23:10:02] <gmag> a pure cork stopper is vary rare

[23:10:47] <gmag> this video shows those expensive stoppers being made

[23:14:25] <cpresser_> yes. LINEAR extrusion
[23:14:41] <cpresser_> for cylindrical shapes
[23:14:59] <gmag> exacly
[23:15:38] <gmag> any idea of the price of one of these machines? Probably the price would be the same of a plastic extruder (??)
[23:16:19] <cpresser_> i dont think you can buy them off the shelf
[23:16:39] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop could build you one
[23:16:47] <cpresser_> most likely they are custom made.
[23:17:19] <gmag> JT-Shop? :)
[23:17:22] <gmag> what's that?

[23:20:31] <gmag> I was able to make a desktop CNC and I would say 90% of it I got from LinuxCNC :)
[23:20:34] <L84Supper> a plastic extruder for something 20mm dia would sell for >$125K that extrudes ~80Kg/hour
[23:20:43] <gmag> considering the software 90% of the cnc of course...
[23:21:07] <cpresser_> since it wont require heating (at least i guess so), you could use a kitchen extuder (for meat grinding or sausages)
