Servo Driven 4th Axis for CNC Mill

<< < (7/39) > >>

awemawson:
And here's where it has to go:

awemawson:
Ah . . it won't go in as an assembly - needs assembling in situ  :bang:

awemawson:
So that WAS all good fun  :lol:

Now did it work ?

No - it broke first time I actuated it  :bang:

I'm not entirely surprised, so we'll have to revert to plan B  :clap:

awemawson:
So first make a suitable disk chosen from the extensive stocks of quality traceable bars made from a handy bar end  :clap:

awemawson:
Trim it roughly to size by taking big gulps with a beefy end mill, then fettle it a bit so that it fits. (by heck it was TIGHT !)

There is presumably quite a torque on the brake shoe when operated, so before I loctited the screw in, I welded the 'heel' of the sector to the shaft. Then it was a case of re-assembly in situ AGAIN !
