Good point, I'm using a (free) donated Yaskawa servo, that will be mated directly to the ballscrew. The Yaskawa tuning software has some anti-resonance capabilities, so if there is an issue hopefully it will help. I have had zero issues with resonance on my CNC converted mill that also uses...
It's a hobby lathe 5" swing, 1HP
Thanks to everyone for their help.
So I made the stub, bored it to ~0.0005" under, I think it was probably closer to 0.0007" hard to tell because I was using telescoping gauge to measure bore and even after heating the stub and freezing the ballscrew it took a...
Dangerous, please explain?
That's reasonable not "resonable"
Original post states tinker and hobby, I don't find your suggestion practical or helpful. The cost of a CNC lathe is not particularly reasonable for most hobby type use.
I converted my knee mil to CNC in 2024 for peanuts and it's...
I thing there will be very little load at this joint because the other end of the ballscrew is the driven end and that end is captured in a bearing with thrust surfaces on both sides of the bearing. The stub end is just along for the ride and sits in the floating side bearing (no thrust surfaces...
Hi,
First post...
I'm an electrical engineer that tinkers with mechanics as a hobby. I'm adding CNC capability to my 10x22 lathe.
I have a ballscrew for the Z axis. It's long enough to allow full carriage travel, however if I could extend the not threaded floating end by 5" it would make...
