Machine

• Working dimensions:
  • 3D point (XYZ): 1500 x 1000 x 500 [mm]
  • 3D line (XZ): 1500 x 1000 [mm]
• Precision: 0.01 [mm] (all directions)
• Speed: 3 [m/min]
• Max working force:
  • Static: unknown yet
  • Dynamic: unknown yet
• Possible of moving: 3D Point (milling) or 3D Line (foam cutting)
• Possible to set machine on top of a milling surface (like a large MDF plate)

Environment

• Max voltage: 220 [V], maximum current: 16 (?) [A]
• Machine must be transportable:
  • (easy) to assemble/de-assemble
  • max 25 [kg/module]
  • max area of each module: 2000 x 900 [mm] (max doorway)
• I want to develop & build everything myself :-)

Mechanics:

• Movements:
  • Milling: X, Y, Z
  • Foam cutting: X1, X2, Z1, Z2
• Min. stiffness: ? [N/mm]
• Max weight of each axis: 25 [kg]
• Easy accessible to product/tool

Electronics:

• Different stepsizes possible
• Motor driver ussage: step & dir control
• Motor voltage: 12, 24 or 48 [V] (unknown yet)
• Motor current: 2 [A] (max)
• Motor torque: 6 [Nm]
• Logic electronics voltage: 5 [V]

Hardware:

• Not independed of specific operating system and/or special programs (I want to use the machine for a long time)

Software:

• CAM input is derived from standard simple 3D data, like stl.
• Software written in Visual Basic 6. (?)
• Maybe a driver in C++.
