I'm still faffing about on my design, and have been thinking of the possibility of eventually upgrading my machine to handle 8x4 sheets of MDF... vertically.
So with this possibility in mind, have extended the length of the X-axis... ball-screw, profile-rail, and extrusion.
These components now give me a cutting length of 1220mm, whether they are initially used on the X-axis or later transferred to the Y-axis.
The unsupported Y-axis will initially be 800mm... and later 1400mm.
So I've redesigned my Y-axis as below. Although pictured horizontally, this machine will be used with the X-Axis running vertically. As always critique is most welcome...
Have also taken a stab at pulley brackets on the top [right] of the X-axis for the gantry counterweights.Last edited by WandrinAndy; 22-10-2012 at 04:19 PM.
