What a beauty. My heart warms looking at big steel structures

Thanks, I have the same warm heart feeling haha gets warmer when I try and move it. Haha

Decided to go with Adtech servos and drives. With the edingcnc board.

Looking great - very purposeful, workshop looks soooo tidy, but I guess it is your works unit and not your garage.
Well done.G.

Cheers G,

TIDY... you should see behind the camera haha

Wow that was fast!

Let me know how you get on with the adtech servos I was thinking about using them on my thermwood router retrofit.

[D-man]

Will do Gav,

What can i say, i fabricate every day, however its been a quiet week, plus the fact i ad them cut to size haha +/-2mm so was a case of trimming them up and welding. the welding took some time due to having to jump on different parts to stop and warping etc.

Love the Trolley jack Big "D" precision engineering at it's best. . .

Regards Servos then good choice but the EdingCnc software I think is shit I just can't get on with it.! . . . Also which board is it because last time I looked the fastest board they had was only 125Khz which will be restrictive to RPM with servos with high count encoders.?

IE: Presuming 3:1 gear ratio with standard 2500ppr quadrature encoders so 4x 2500 = 125000/(10,000x3)=4.16 rev/sec x 60=250Rpm you'll get from Servos before frequency runs out.!
To get full 3000rpm which most servos run at you'll need 1.5Mhz frequency with 2500ppr encoders.!! . . . . .Unless you use electronic gearing but then you lose resolution so it's a trade off.!
