First cnc build from surplus liquid dispensing machine

[ryzen]

Hi Bert,

I don`t have much information about the motors. I only have these spec sheets from motor manufacturer. I also salvaged them from old Siemens pick&place machine.
From that machine datasheet I can see that guaranteed X and Y axis resolution was 2.5 µm.
Max. speed X-axis was 2 m/s
Max. speed of Y-axis was 2.5 m/s

But this resolution is probably because of some other parts. I think these motors can perform better than that. Older pick and place machine axis are usually belt driven so that is the reason they are so fast. I have no idea what kind of drivers I should get for these motors. Motor that was on Y-axis is huge and weighs nearly 10 kilos.

I don`t know the ball screw pitch but by the looks of it they can be more than 20 mm. Most likely can not be used for large cnc because OD is quite small, maybe 10 mm or so.

Yes full enclosure would be very beneficial.
