First Build 5 x 12 Steel Frame CNC router

[Scott Damman]

Alright new table now that I got the gearing correct the ballscrew and motor speeds were correct but I took the ballnut travel per motor rev the wrong way.



So based on these numbers still looking at 25mm lead screw. With a ratio of 2:3

Ballnut travel per motor rev 25*0.66 = 16.5mm
Precision mm = 16.5/10,000 = 0.00165 (is this real? i.e. with a quadrature resolver will I truly get 10,000 counts per motor rev?)
1600 rpm ballscrew speed to get to 40,000mm/min (~1500ipm)
Motor speed of 2424rpm (67% of max motor speed)


So am I looking good here? The precision seems great and the speeds would be very acceptable with some headroom on the motor speed.

Thanks
