a Steel Box Section Build with SBR20 & Ballscrews Plus a few questions

Great idea I didnt even think about glass I will be keeping my eyes open when I pass any skips from now on.

What about using a laser level and laser distance measure. If you are careful you could use a sheet of glass to check for level.

Best look for old double glased unit the edges are taped and safer, wear gloves and glasses.

Well still building the frame but also learning as I go about the electronics and everything else.

I am looking at the pulley's to use dean said that a 2:1 gearing ratio is good for a 1605 Ballscrew but does it matter how many teeth are on the pulley as long as it is 2:1 on the otherside of the motor I can't find any threads that show how to work it out.

I am looking at using Nema23 4nm from CNC4You which look to be low inductance and high torque also nothing really shows the torque curves to show if it is usable power through the range.

Has anyone used these motors at all ?

I know that it is best to wait for buying things but my year end accounts are up so trying to make sure I can buy the bits before then.
I have now ordered the 4 Leadshine AM882s because I will be using duel screws on the X.

I'm now ordering the Hiwin rails from Fred because its taking forever to build if I use the supported rails I don't think it would ever get upgraded so do it one do it right.

So its back to cad and make the changes.

These are the one's to go for, good choice and the AM882's are also good.

In general 1605 screw on Z and 1610 on X and Y . I have used 1:1 on X and 2:1 on X & Y (router twin screw)

Hey Clive

Brilliant thank you very much for that I will get them on order.

I have looked on the cnc4you and the grubscrew pulleys but i'm not sure if there is a formula to stick to or is it not the teeth but the ratio that is important. I'm sorry I have never got to grips with pulleys.

I think the original 1605 ballscrews because now I'm going with Hiwin rails i'm going to maximise the space.

I have just noticed that you posted 4Nm I generally use 3.1Nm motors. re the pulleys I will check tomorrow but have a look at 30 teeth for the small one you could also use 1:1.5

Thanks Clive I will have a look at the 30 Teeth. Like all things I went on the theory the More power the better :)
