Hi,
here some Pictures of my machines.
I've described it here and will update it in several weeks ...
my first mill - over 22 years old - but got several revisions:
ball screw, driven by stepper, powered by RTA Stepper-drives
spindle Isel MA 2.05 on vfd, controlled by Mach3, max 60.000rpm, self balanced
iron cast table, forms selfmade, casting done in factory, milled and grinded at a friends shop
work room 800 x 800 x 450 mm
my lathe:
radical retrofitted: from 7 x 15 to 11 x 20, ball screw, stepper, driven by leadshine, tail stock extended,
vfd controlled by Mach3, 80 to 1200rpm without gear change, 3- and 4-jaw chuck, Dia 160mm, ...
(the mill is disassembled since i've got another mill)
my last mill:
this is an early photograph - the driven guide was dismounted and the whole head will move.
modifications same as previous machines: ball screw, vfd, Mach3, stepper, ...
6 gear, range 25 to (theoretical) 7000rpm - but the head will become very warm above 5000rpm
my swinging rotate table:
(photo during build - now all belts and holes are covered)
short clip on moving: http://irc.global-radio.ch/img/5Achsen.avi
and nice picture in action:
and the result:
one thing is to tell about:
the worm gear for swinging table is DIY:
then i have a small rotating table for my heavy mill - but no pictures atm.
my bonelle T&C Grinder was allways shown - but here to made complete:
modified band saw:
cooled saw band (blue tube air, green cooling liquid)
in background feed adjust
feed adjust and left hand belt tension adjust
liquid pump (upper) and air pump (lower)
other things will appear neext weeks
Regards
Frank
