Z Axis taper back – Movable Gantry CNC Machine 17
This is a continuation of the improvement in the Z-axis for the movable gantry cnc machine. The previous post was about making a more accurate… Read More »Z Axis taper back – Movable Gantry CNC Machine 17
Tramming the Z-axis – Movable Gantry CNC Machine 15
For the movable gantry cnc machine, it was rather easy to notice and to adjust the X and Y axes so that they become perpendicular… Read More »Tramming the Z-axis – Movable Gantry CNC Machine 15
Movable Gantry CNC machine 4
I have decided to use the same Z-axis design for both the movable bed cnc machine and the upcoming moving gantry cnc machine. In this… Read More »Movable Gantry CNC machine 4
Movable Gantry CNC machine 2
Some updates on the Movable Gantry CNC Machine: At the bed board frame, I found that the holes that I drilled for putting in the… Read More »Movable Gantry CNC machine 2
Movable Bed CNC machine 26
Previously, I had tried to increase the speeds of the CNC machine with disastrous results. The reason was that the stepper motors which drove the… Read More »Movable Bed CNC machine 26
Movable Bed CNC machine 25
I had been using my movable bed cnc machine to fabricate parts for my other projects. For example, I had machined out a pocket from… Read More »Movable Bed CNC machine 25
Movable Bed CNC machine 20
Currently, what I did to obtain a zero position for my z-axis was to manually command jog linuxCNC to lower the z-axis until the milling… Read More »Movable Bed CNC machine 20
Movable Bed CNC machine 12
The previous test was only a simulation, but it was very useful. It served to teach me what to do in order to generate G-codes… Read More »Movable Bed CNC machine 12
