Electronic leadscrew attachment

Hi

Here is a video of an electronic leadscrew attachment I made.



I made it because I wanted accurate and repeatable turned sections. Because I
tend to work with large steel parts the traverse rate of the leadscrew can go
below 30 thou per minute allowing an excellent finish.

hope its of interest

Great!! Neat  works well and I can see the utmost advantage of having that little system. Did you buy the equipment as a kit if so where?

Btw your video was well done and the quality was excellent too, I had it on my full screen and I saw everything very clearly.

God bless    Anthony.

Sorry, it was from bits and pieces. Laptop PSU, motor from scrap laser printer, even had the cpu lying around from samples (pic16f1936). Some further info on my photobucket account

Seems to work quite well and saves a lot of knob twiddling (that just doesn't sound right  :bugeye:)

Its kind of like a halfway house to CNC. Most of the stuff I do doesn't need cnc type input so this is a quick and dirty bodge to get accuracy and repeatability without any programming.

If you want any further info let me know.

Best Regards

 :jaw: Wow that is a seriously impressive bit of kit you have built there  :bow:
Does it interface through the calliper for measurement or count steps ?
Will you be documenting the build ?

raynerd:
Nice one !! Is that your programme in there?
