Found my donor for a CNC Plasma!
I've been wanting to build a cnc plasma for about 5 years but it just hasn't been possible (built a house etc first).
Well I've just discovered that I have many of the parts sitting in my
server room from a robotic tape library that we dont use anymore. So my
goal is to pillage the parts from that guy to build the table.
My starting machine is a Adic Scalar 1000.
This machine has a 5'x2' XY gantry that I will modify to 5'x10'. It has
2 Advanced Motion Controllers and 2 Brushless servos with optical
encoders. It's belt driven currently. (I would like to retain this if
possible as it will make the build alot easier.)
Anyway here are some pics of the donor hardware.
The motors are Hathaway motors but I dont know what size they are.
Mess of existing computer stuff to controll this thing. (not sure what all i can use for the table)
Anyway this seems like a good base to build from. I have 2 of these
units. 1 is still in production and this one just sits there in the
way.
Here is a link to some more pictures.

Thanks, I think this will be a fun project. |
