[00:00:40] <andypugh> The 12mm screw had a 6mm / 8mm differential screw, I think with the 16mm I can use 8mm / 12mm
http://imagebin.org/280271
[00:01:39] <andypugh> cradek: I machined it before fitting. In-place machining would have been too hard even for a man who likes a challenge
[00:03:05] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:03:23] <andypugh> My question is, should the differential screw be shorter than in the picture, or longer? Both options beat the arrangement shown, I feel sure.
[00:04:05] <andypugh> So, screw into the body of the ballscrew, or body of the ballscrew into the taper?

[00:09:19] <skunkworks> PCW: are you testing micges stuff?
[00:09:28] <PCW> Yes
[00:09:32] <skunkworks> I was hoping to today.. but maybe tomorrow
[00:09:47] <andypugh> Does anyone need me to explain differential screws? They are really fun things
[00:09:57] <PCW> well i will when i figure out the magic ip and mac incantations
[00:10:06] <skunkworks> so - it is realtime? even though using normal ethernet drivers?
[00:10:11] <PCW> Yes
[00:10:17] <skunkworks> wow - pretty cool
[00:10:40] <PCW> looks pretty good just pinging around

[00:15:46] <andypugh> cradek: Please, opinionate, I am curious about how folk vsualise the situation. As a reference point the area of the 8mm screw is about 64, and the annular ring is about 80

[00:16:51] <andypugh> I think that a screw all the way into the meat of the ballscrew feels stronger.
[00:17:33] <andypugh> (Maybe make the taper shorter).
[00:17:58] <andypugh> But the screw will stretch, so how well is the load transferred?

[00:27:01] <Tom_itx> PCW could you explain why linuxcnc report i have a 200k gate chip when i've got a 400k one when loading the bit file?
[00:27:37] <andypugh> Possibly because you have no comms at all
[00:27:45] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[00:27:51] <andypugh> (We should fix that)
[00:27:53] <PCW> 2 possibilities if the error is early it like any says no coms
[00:27:58] <Tom_itx> when i load a 200k gate compiled one it worked
[00:28:22] <PCW> chip selected is 200K?
[00:29:03] <Tom_itx> in xilinx yes
[00:29:11] <Tom_itx> i tried the 400k one first
[00:29:25] <andypugh> Yeah, but that checks the comms return against the (known) bitfile size. It's a really badly thought-out diagnistic, actuallly.
[00:29:25] <Tom_itx> i had to reload the zip file because of a problem then i started getting that
[00:29:40] <Tom_itx> it synthesized ok
[00:29:43] <Tom_itx> both
[00:29:58] <PCW> There are 2 things that need to be set: the GUI chip selection and the card type
[00:30:04] <Tom_itx> yes
[00:30:11] <Tom_itx> lemme fire that pc up
[00:30:26] <Tom_itx> and i'll tell you what's selected currently
[00:31:34] <PCW> a 200K bitfile for the 7I43 will be about 131K bytes a 400K bitfile will be about 212K bytes
[00:31:51] <Tom_itx> yeah it was around 209 iirc
[00:32:08] <PCW> you cannot program a 400K FPGA with a 200K bitfile or vice versa
[00:32:36] <Tom_itx> i just couldn't figure out why i got that error though since i was using a 400k seting
[00:33:04] <Tom_itx> hm2/hm2_7i43.0: board has FPGA '3s200tq144' but the firmware in hm2/7i43/SVST2_4_7I47SSS.BIT is for FPGA '3s400tq144'
[00:33:08] <Tom_itx> was the error
[00:33:10] <andypugh> Because a return value of zero can mean both 200k and no card at all. It's a bug
[00:33:34] -!- atom1 [atom1!~tom@unaffiliated/toml/x-013812] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:33:54] <atom1> use work.i43_200card.all;
[00:33:58] <atom1> is currently selected
[00:34:13] <atom1> use work.PIN_SVST2_4_7I47SSS_48.all;
[00:34:16] <atom1> and the card
[00:34:16] <PCW> OK so thats wrong
[00:34:23] <atom1> yes
[00:34:56] <atom1> but i had this selected when i got the error: use work.i43_400card.all;
[00:34:57] <PCW> so the complaint is not surprising
[00:35:00] -!- jfire has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[00:35:20] <atom1> so i switched _to_ the 200 to correct it
[00:35:24] <atom1> which seems wrong
[00:35:56] <atom1> i got the above error with the 400k setting
[00:36:52] <PCW> whatever is wrong it will not help to select the wrong card
[00:36:53] <PCW> if you have a 400K FPGA card you must select "use work.i43_400card.all;"
[00:37:08] <atom1> i agree
[00:37:14] <atom1> but why would i get that error?
[00:37:45] <atom1> those are the only 2 lines i changed in the file
[00:37:48] <PCW> no comms?
[00:38:10] <atom1> well i got the lcnc error screen
[00:38:24] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[00:38:37] <atom1> i will go thru it once more to triple check what i did
[00:38:41] <PCW> you can get that error if there's no EPP comms
[00:39:15] <atom1> i'll try again and see what happens with the 400 setting
[00:39:32] <PCW> a bad bifile can do this also (a bad bitfile that loads but doesnt work)
[00:39:47] <atom1> i'm gonna test it with a known good file
[00:40:11] -!- PetefromTn has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:40:19] <PCW> if you loaded a bad bitfile you may need to power cycle the 7I43
[00:40:29] <atom1> yeah i was each time
[00:40:43] <atom1> takes a while to churn on this pc
[00:41:05] <PCW> (since a bad bitfile will not respond to the "reset thyself" command)
[00:41:08] <atom1> i'm using the standard 7i47_48 vhd
[00:41:15] <atom1> yep
[00:42:04] <atom1> i'm not sure it likes remapping those pins like i was trying to do
[00:42:31] <atom1> using the spare B & index pins from the encoder for sserial
[00:43:08] <PCW> that cannot cause any problem
[00:43:16] <atom1> i did get sserial working, just trying to maximize pin use
[00:44:05] <atom1> if i don't use the full encoder function, i still count that as an instance in the header right?
[00:44:14] <atom1> even if it's just using channel A?
[00:44:51] <atom1> splitting the other 2 pins as an instance under sserial
[00:45:58] <atom1> i did notice while it was compiling it mentioned something about assigning zero to the unused pin functions
[00:46:09] <atom1> or such
[00:47:37] <PCW> Sure any part of an encoder still needs the whole encoder to be instantiated (but some unused logic will be trimmed)
[00:48:15] <PCW> none of these things can cause trouble at the interface level
[00:51:11] <atom1> ok
[00:51:12] -!- jthornton has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[00:56:58] <andypugh> Back to my screw, I thing this definitely looks better torsionally, though actually I am very much more concernerd about axial forces:
http://imagebin.org/280273
[00:57:16] <uw> whats that for
[00:58:00] <cradek> how do you tighten the screw?
[00:58:42] -!- thomaslindstr_m has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[01:00:15] <andypugh> I screw the screw all the way into the ballscrew, then screw on the extension piece. Then backing out the screw (with a key through the axial bore) draws the taper up, because the two sections of the screw have a different pitch.
[01:02:33] <cradek> oh now I see the green part is hollow, of course
[01:02:48] <cradek> it's very clever
[01:02:50] <andypugh> This is not my invention, Wohlhaupter have been attaching the shanks to their boring heads this way for decades. It is _very_ clever,.
[01:03:48] <cradek> and you can unmount them!
[01:04:01] <cradek> without destroying everything with jacobs wedges...
[01:04:26] <cradek> those things suck
[01:04:34] <andypugh> Because the effective pitch of the screw is 0.25mm, but the actual teeth are 1.5mm, so the clamping force is huge, but the teeth are strong.
[01:05:49] <PCW> Dont micrometers use differential screws sometimes?
[01:05:50] -!- The_Ball has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds]
[01:06:15] <andypugh> Sometimes, yes. It's clever there too.

[01:07:37] <PCW> Thats very slick way to get a high pull-in/push out tapered connection
[01:07:39] <andypugh> What I like about the version I am using is that you sort of end up with a bolt with a very big virtual head, that could not possibly fit down the hole you have
[01:08:30] <andypugh> (And it also has an unfeasibly small effective pitch)
[01:08:36] -!- atom1 has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[01:10:02] <andypugh> The only drawback is that you have to remember what you did. Because it is clockwise to release :-)

[01:10:47] <cradek> fiendish
[01:10:49] <PCW> Yes you have so much leverage you could probably bust things
[01:11:18] <andypugh> Anyway... Shorter screw or longer screw? Equal length screw clearly combines the worst of all worlds.
[01:11:27] <cradek> in watches left-hand screws are usually but not always marked
[01:12:49] <andypugh> Nicks on the corners of the nuts are usual in welding (etc) gasses.
[01:13:44] <andypugh> In this case the screw is a whole allen-key length down a hole, you rather have to know it is there to even look for ir.
[01:15:07] <andypugh> I am not sure of the exact convention, but Oxygen regulators are right-hand thread and Acetylene are left-hand.
[01:15:26] <NickParker> hey PCI slots aren't supposed to take much pressure right?
[01:15:50] <andypugh> I am not sure if the convention is combustion safety or toxicity if inhaled.
[01:15:58] <NickParker> I've got a PCI wifi adaptor for my linuxcnc box here and it's ridiculously hard to get in. The profiles look like they match and nothing else is hitting though, so i don't get it.
[01:16:48] <andypugh> There are a lot of springy pins. Perhaps start at one end?
[01:16:49] <cradek> andypugh: isn't it the other way around?
[01:17:23] <NickParker> andypugh: wow that made a world of difference. Thanks
[01:17:35] <andypugh> Also make sure that there are no foreign objects in the slot.
[01:18:00] <PCW> like folded in pins :-(
[01:18:07] <andypugh> cradek: Could be, I am not a welder
[01:19:15] <andypugh> cradek: I could also believe that it differs horrribly from country to country.

[02:31:56] <pcw_home> other then the resolver interface its probably the most complex module
[02:32:34] <Tom_itx> you've only implemented a single device per channel though right?
[02:32:42] <Tom_itx> up to 8 is allowed

[02:33:20] -!- cradek [cradek!~chris@outpost.timeguy.com] has joined #linuxcnc
[02:33:28] <pcw_home> no, 1 per channel 8 per port
[02:33:38] <Tom_itx> err that's what i meant
[02:33:48] <pcw_home> 4 ports max so 32 channels max
[02:34:35] <Tom_itx> but not 2 cards on the same pins
[02:35:16] <pcw_home> No, RS-485 mode is not supported (it may eventually be but not too likely)
[02:35:30] <Tom_itx> i'm not real sure what would need it
[02:36:07] <pcw_home> Yeah and it a fair bit more complicated (especially timeout calculations)
[02:36:15] <Tom_itx> i'm gonna wire up the 2nd channel in a bit to test it
[02:36:59] <pcw_home> in some cases there may be an advantage to more ports with fewer channels/port
[02:37:10] <pcw_home> (if you have the space)
[02:37:45] <pcw_home> (a bit faster)
[02:38:43] <pcw_home> But the CPU is fairly fast (75 MHz in the 7I43) so the per channel overhead is not much

[06:51:39] <RyanS> archivist could it be possible that motor manufacturer went cheap inside the junction box and just used a generic terminal block. Perhaps it's just a matter of changing the terminal block for one with straps?

[07:38:17] <xxoxx> hi
[07:38:40] <xxoxx> can feed rate be tied to spindle encoder reading ?
[07:39:02] <xxoxx> manually control spindle speed, and thereby control the feed rate of the entire program ?
[07:39:32] <xxoxx> much like how old manual lathe works, except the XY axis is cutting a pattern
[07:40:12] <Jymmm> for knurling?
[07:40:40] <xxoxx> not just knurling
[07:40:49] <xxoxx> for general cutting, lathe and mill
[07:41:34] <xxoxx> basically could slow down even stop the program, just by manually dialing down the spindle
[07:41:55] <xxoxx> for retrofit lathes and mills

[11:00:08] <archivist> did you see the wiki page for hobbing
[11:00:57] <archivist> in that case it has been done with hal gearing and a pyvcp spin box to poke it into hal

[14:03:47] <Jymmm> not that I'm timing something in the shower itself.

[17:57:30] <flughafen> I am fräs-less
[17:57:41] <IchGuckLive> so why you are hre
[17:58:02] <flughafen> was interested in some info on cnc kits in my heimatlands
[17:58:21] <IchGuckLive> oh there are alot of
[17:58:29] <IchGuckLive> from laser to plasma
[17:58:46] <IchGuckLive> from 3D printing to scuptunrn
[17:59:02] <IchGuckLive> lots of german do CAD CAM
[17:59:03] <flughafen> I'm not really into 3d printing, (at least not for 20+ years)
[18:00:24] <IchGuckLive> hard to tell if ther is no way to the goalline
[18:00:31] <archivist> kit to make what, often a lot of us retrofit something
[18:00:49] <IchGuckLive> PCB milling sculpt ...
[18:00:52] <flughafen> a cnc kit, not to retrofit, the whole frame/electronics/everythign
[18:01:06] <IchGuckLive> protos
[18:01:15] <IchGuckLive> or cnc-shop
[18:01:18] <archivist> flughafen, to make what though
[18:01:29] <IchGuckLive> querry in german
[18:01:39] <flughafen> ha
[18:01:46] <flughafen> i'd actually prefer to speak in english

[18:01:54] <flughafen> ich bin deutscher aber in den usa aufgewachsen
[18:02:06] <flughafen> und mein deutsch ist sehr komisch
[18:02:31] <Loetmichel> flughafen: we germans dont mind
[18:02:44] <flughafen> so, I think it would be awesome if i could build a small engine , like a 2 stroke r/c engine
[18:02:46] <Loetmichel> our english is "strange", also ;-)
[18:02:49] <flughafen> ha
[18:03:19] <flughafen> whenever a german says "my english is terrible," it ends up being much better/nicer than listening to americans speak
[18:03:24] <archivist> flughafen, so you want a milling machine and a lathe
[18:03:51] <jdh> or at least a lathe.
[18:03:56] <Loetmichel> flughafen: tell me about it, my wife was english/german teacher (hischool) once
[18:03:58] <flughafen> why not a 4 axis?
[18:04:10] <flughafen> or is this what you mean?
[18:04:29] <IchGuckLive> flughafen: look into the querry given adresses
[18:04:35] <archivist> lathe for turning round stuff
[18:04:47] <Loetmichel> ... every time i am at hom and talking on the phone with some american/english suppliers i hear "WRONG!" yelled across the flat all five sentences ;-)
[18:05:21] <Loetmichel> s/all/every
[18:05:32] <archivist> usually german speakers english is very good except for one in here :)
[18:05:37] <flughafen> well, i know what a lathe is, but when you say lathe, do you mean, a 4th axis to a cnc? or a separate lathe?
[18:06:05] <IchGuckLive> flughafen: Drehbank
[18:06:08] <flughafen> ok, thanks
[18:06:11] <Loetmichel> flughafen: depends. i have a lathe that could fit as 4th axis on my mill ;-)

[18:14:20] <flughafen> I have a garage, but it has no power(is this common in germany?) and the garage is too far away for an extension chord

[18:15:04] <flughafen> i find this no power in the garage _VERY_ annoying
[18:15:10] <archivist> wire it
[18:15:29] <flughafen> by tapping into what?
[18:15:30] <Loetmichel> but they are just across the yard, so that will be remedied soon, as i get permission from the landlord to dig a bit ;-)
[18:16:10] <archivist> the garage here had no power, we extended off the house ring main
[18:16:31] <flughafen> archivist: the house must be 150m away?
[18:16:57] <Loetmichel> this is a 4 flat house over here, and three garages across the yard. And rented
[18:17:16] <Loetmichel> so i better ask the landlord before i start digging.

[18:47:34] <uw> Gabriel_56, that's not a bad idea. it is for putting a custom tool on a 1/2" rachet

[18:48:43] <uw> Wer nicht gerne Brot zum Frühstück? ;)
[18:49:06] <uw> it looks like pumpernickel
[18:49:11] <Loetmichel> it is
[18:49:13] <Loetmichel> more or less
[18:49:47] <Gabriel_56> uw: ah ok, so probably it would be too bulky :)
[18:50:19] <uw> Maybe Gabriel_56 maybe not. I'm tossing around ideas
[18:50:27] <uw> i'll probably buy that broach
[18:50:35] <uw> i need these pieces by next friday
[18:50:37] <Loetmichel> you can also work a while as a mason or in the moving business to gain the needed power ;-)
[18:50:52] <Loetmichel> uw: whre are you located?
[18:51:10] <uw> Loetmichel, i'm in NYC area. are you near DEEJAY?
[18:51:28] <Loetmichel> if you call 500km "near": yes
[18:51:30] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[18:51:47] <Loetmichel> he's more or less "around the corner"
[18:52:07] <IchGuckLive> uw i will be in yonkers for 2 days after xmas
[18:52:18] <uw> i'm going to germany next year and i swear i'm going to visit him LOL
[18:52:44] <uw> IchGuckLive, very cool
[18:53:08] <IchGuckLive> O.O
[18:53:28] <Loetmichel> uw: still i would use a steel block, drill 4 2mm holes in the corners of the half" square, drill a big 12mm hole in the middle and then saw/file the rest
[18:53:42] <Loetmichel> should go fast and for 5 pieces its not too much work
[18:53:57] <archivist> he want 20 + parts
[18:54:19] <Loetmichel> uw: i already met him a few times on copter conventions
[18:54:24] <Loetmichel> nice guy ;)
[18:54:38] <uw> Loetmichel, i'm planing on making 20 parts but need 5 by next friday. i'm thinking i might as well get the broach
[18:54:56] <Loetmichel> if you think you need it, do so
[18:55:00] <uw> Loetmichel, LOL i really dont know him. I was only teasin ;)
[18:55:03] <Loetmichel> do you have a CNC mill?
[18:55:10] <uw> Loetmichel, yes

[18:55:22] <Loetmichel> so why not doing it with the mill?
[18:55:36] <archivist> you can mill most of the square and finish off with the broach
[18:55:40] <Loetmichel> the corner can (and should be) " a bit free" anyways
[18:55:52] <uw> the rest of the tool is made on the mill but the square part i'll have to manually do
[18:56:01] -!- FreezingCold has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[18:56:12] <Loetmichel> just cut about a third of the mill tool diameter diagonally into the corner, done
[18:56:21] <Loetmichel> and use a 2mm max mill bit ;)
[18:56:24] <archivist> using a smaller endmill, slowly can get into the corners

[18:56:39] <archivist> effin slow though
[18:56:54] <Loetmichel> let me see if i have a vid...
[18:56:59] <uw> the cnc part is done with 3/8" end mill so it could do some of it
[18:57:09] <uw> still it's the corners i need to take care of
[18:58:17] <archivist> milling part of the square will reduce the press force you need
[18:58:48] <Loetmichel> have no video
[18:59:14] <Loetmichel> but what i meant: the corner shouldnt carry any force anyway, so no loss if youi mill them out a bit
[18:59:42] <Loetmichel> like this (wait a moment, painting it...)

[18:59:57] <uw> archivist, Loetmichel that is not bad ideas
[19:00:17] <uw> i just have to add it to tool path then still buy broach
[19:00:22] <uw> but that's for me to figure
[19:03:11] <uw> yea thats what i think i'll just do
[19:03:17] <uw> mill out as best i can then broach
[19:05:29] <Loetmichel> UW: i menat like this:
http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=14535
[19:06:22] <Loetmichel> drill the 4 corners, than mill out the square
[19:06:37] <uw> oic
[19:07:24] <uw> the smallest mill i have is 3/16" (like 5mm)
[19:08:00] <Loetmichel> hrhr
[19:08:01] <uw> id have to change mills too because the rest is in 3/8"

[19:08:10] <Loetmichel> i just bought a few 0,3mm ones ;-)
[19:08:21] <uw> lol how do they not snap
[19:08:28] <Loetmichel> they do ;-)
[19:08:39] <Loetmichel> and of course tungsten carbide
[19:09:22] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=11933 <- 0.4mm on the right ;-)
[19:09:33] <Loetmichel> aehm.. onm the left, of course
[19:10:33] <Loetmichel> 0,3mm is tha smallest i can use on my mill, runout of the chinese spindle comes into play after that ;-)
[19:10:38] <Loetmichel> beyond that
[19:11:46] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Must take a while to face a 12"x12" plate with one of those ;)

[19:12:27] <uw> haha
[19:12:33] <Loetmichel> especially as they are with a "drill tip"
[19:12:34] <Loetmichel> ;-)
[19:12:47] <Loetmichel> not flat head
[19:13:03] <uw> what in/s rate do you get with them LOL
[19:13:11] <Loetmichel> hmm
[19:13:14] <uw> .01
[19:13:16] <Loetmichel> calculating...
[19:13:18] <uw> or mm/s
[19:13:49] <Loetmichel> about 0,25in/sec

[19:14:20] <Loetmichel> and 24kRPM ;-)
[19:14:22] <FinboySlick> I guess that's pretty much a factor of how fast you can spin it.
[19:14:25] <FinboySlick> Yeah.
[19:14:45] <uw> lol 24k
[19:15:05] <Loetmichel> its "pedal->metal" for that chinese spindle
[19:15:22] <Loetmichel> i COULD run them with 60krpm and would still be in limits of cutting speed ;-)
[19:15:54] <uw> i'm sure those chi bearings would squeal with joy
[19:16:09] <Loetmichel> they would, no doubt
[19:16:57] <Loetmichel> it is surprisingly quiet at 24krpm, though
[19:17:31] <uw> thats good
[19:17:32] <Loetmichel> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMXxjT4nNxg
[19:18:03] <uw> looks good
[19:18:12] <uw> I will subscribe to you on youtube
[19:18:54] <uw> i read mixed reviews on those spindles
[19:19:05] <uw> just subscribed
[19:19:31] <Loetmichel> i have two: runout less than 0,01mm, no problem so far after a year of use... sheer luck, i suppose
[19:20:00] <uw> the price is good and that one is probably the same one i've looked at on ebay
[19:20:06] <Loetmichel> and it can do aluminium without a problem
[19:20:10] <uw> I'm guessing

[19:23:08] <uw> is that lovejoy c
[19:24:03] <Loetmichel> ?
[19:24:19] <uw> the previous video is that a lovejoy coupling
[19:24:26] <Loetmichel> hmmm
[19:24:51] <Loetmichel> google says yes
[19:25:00] <Loetmichel> didtn know they were called that
[19:25:13] <uw> http://www.ruralking.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/6/061420111.jpg
[19:25:20] <uw> i think thats a brand name
[19:25:29] <uw> idk what they are generically called
[19:25:39] <FinboySlick> Spider coupling I think?
[19:25:56] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12846
[19:26:03] <Loetmichel> was made for this spindle
[19:26:26] <uw> oic
[19:26:40] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12821
[19:28:35] <Loetmichel> hmm, three prongs... would have been a solution, also... but it works with two, so why bother? ;-)
[19:29:21] <uw> sure they both are acceptable
[19:30:12] <Loetmichel> this small "spindle" does 30krpm also
[19:30:20] <Loetmichel> but gets a bit hot then ;-)
[19:30:29] <Loetmichel> (using normal roller blade bearings...)
[19:30:50] <Loetmichel> http://www.cyrom.org/palbum/main.php?g2_itemId=12840
[19:32:52] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Would it be worth looking into oil bearings (like in a turbo) for that sort of speed?
[19:33:04] <Loetmichel> no
[19:33:21] <Loetmichel> not for a spindle designated as a gift for a friend ;-)
[19:34:12] <Loetmichel> but i washed the bearings with gasoline, put in some thin oil, and swapped the PE spider for a rupper one-> 45°c at 35krpm... thats ok ;-)
[19:34:33] <Loetmichel> rubber
[19:35:10] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: Now for a real challenge, get it to do rigid tapping at that speed ;)
[19:35:34] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: 0,2mm threads: no problem ;-)
[19:36:04] <archivist> you cannot stop it fast enough to reverse out
[19:36:11] <Loetmichel> (may need a big brake on top, though) ;-)
[19:36:35] -!- patrickarlt has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[19:37:10] <archivist> getting the encoder read properly would not be trivial
[19:37:57] <Loetmichel> archivist. depends on the cpr ;-)
[19:39:13] <FinboySlick> I can just imagine engaging the break and the machine doing a 180° turn on its stand.
[19:39:40] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: btdt
[19:39:41] <FinboySlick> Inertia, thy be a cruel mistress.
[19:39:48] <archivist> there is a video of a friction welder tipping
[19:40:08] <flughafen> archivist: i'd like to see that, ha
[19:40:19] <FinboySlick> Yeah, I was going to ask for a link.
[19:40:50] <Loetmichel> had some 3kW siemens AC servos (about 30kg each) and accidentally ordered them to do " ONE full turn, maximum speed"... while laying on a wooden pallet without any fixing
[19:41:45] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: So the shaft did a half turn in one direction and the body did a half turn in the other direction? ;)
[19:41:47] <Loetmichel> first the lights in the company got dark, then they got VERY bright, then you'd see a 30kg motor about half a meter up in the air ;-)
[19:42:40] <Loetmichel> (nice effect that the indramat servo amps could do regenerative braking) ;-)
[19:42:56] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: when you do something stupid here, you buy pizza for the staff... I wonder what sort of pizza that would have cost you.
[19:43:09] <Loetmichel> i WAS the staff ;-)
[19:43:33] <FinboySlick> So you should have treated yourself to a pizza!
[19:43:57] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: BTW, are you sure you haven't moved to Sweden?
[19:44:06] <Loetmichel> i am, why?
[19:44:13] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: You have too much sense of humour to be German today.
[19:44:29] <FinboySlick> You're breaking my carefully crafted stereotypes.
[19:44:41] <Loetmichel> i have to nuch sense of huor to be anywhere.
[19:45:15] <FinboySlick> See? Your German roots subconsciously prevented your brain from typing 'humour' right.
[19:45:20] <flughafen> haha
[19:45:29] <Loetmichel> you know what the germans say: "wenns nicht so traurig wär' würde man stundenlang lachen!"
[19:45:34] <flughafen> that's funny, and I know funny, I am a german
[19:46:07] <Loetmichel> "one would laugh all day if it wasnt so sad"
[19:46:35] <Loetmichel> i think life is much easier when laughing at things you cant change and change things you can ;-)
[19:46:58] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: This is why we have clowns in government ;)
[19:48:01] <flughafen> yeah, maybe germans have no humor, but the mayor of nürnberg has not been caught smoking crack ;)
[19:48:17] <Loetmichel> flughafen: so what?

[21:30:33] <CaptHindsight> you might not be happy with harmonic drive specs for milling
[21:30:34] <FinboySlick> CaptHindsight: No idea. This is a long term idea, not something I plan to do this weekend. I expected the gear to be around 200 bucks. Obviously, as little backlash and highest repeatability possible. This is a 24k high speed spindle so I don't suspect it would need enormous torque.
[21:31:28] <mrsun_> yeah! got homing working for X and Y so far ! =)
[21:31:52] <FinboySlick> CaptHindsight: Could I use a dual-pinion spur gear to eliminate backlash?
[21:32:36] <FinboySlick> A bit like the do with spring-loaded rack/pinion setups on router tables.
