Well thanks to craynerd's fine work I was forced to finish the mod on my own mill. Heres a pic of the Y axis. If I ever had the proper scale I can't find it so I used a caliper. Works like a charm. |
| raynerd:
Nice job! Looks like a great setup! Are you going to cover them so they don`t get full of swarf and oil? Any chance of a few close up pics of your Shumatech holder/arm support? Something I haven`t finished yet. Chris |
| Space Fan:
Hey Chris, Thanks. I'll post pics next time I unbag the machines. The system is Very basic. I don't like things moving arround much so I made it non adjustable. The display is mounted directly on a 1" aluminum square tube and that in turn is bolted to the underside of a 6" x 4" plate. The plate is secured to the bottom of the control box with two bolts. All 6 bolts are 1/4-20. I'll try to find some thin polycarbonate to cover the X & Y scale heads. I soldered the four pin connector wires to the heads and then jammed the opening with some black RTV. My next mod is going to be a dedicated and remote vac to suck the chips away as they are made. I'm tired of holding the shop vac hose. |

Hey Space Fan, Are those cables that plug into the reading head of the calibers? Are those cables supplied with the readout box. If it was explained in a thread some where else how this works I must have missed it. Bernd |
| raynerd:
Bernd, you can buy cables that fit in but they look soldered and then glued/sealed in in the photo. I get a much better connection with my one that is soldered than my two with dedicated cables but clearly they don`t ruin the scale if they need removing. |
