Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Power Feed, something different,

wotisname@...

This is my first attempt at a reply to a message posted on a discussion group/news group as I have only just discovered the same.

I am in the process of converting my workshop and find it very frustrating getting it all to together before it will all work and machining can be controlled by computer. The machine hardware must be designed and built, then the electronics, followed by the hook-ups and finally the software has to be found, learnt and installed. It is a great deal to take in from scratch especially as obtaining the information is sometimes harder than pulling ones own teeth.

My point is that it was nice to have a suggestion that could utilize the hardware and get the system up and running before frustratision sets in or the cash runs out and the whole thing is put on hold with bit and pieces all over the shop.

I could rant on about the simple process of removing an object from a shaft but I think enough has been said on this subject.

Regards,

Terry.

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Power Feed, something different,


From: wanliker@...

I think everyone missed the point of what I was trying to get done. I am
trying to get the lurkers out and talking, and thought maybe that showing
them that steppers would make a good manual, potentiometer, controlled power
feed would be helpful to a lot of folks, especially if there equipment does
not have it built in.
And once they had the power feed, then it would be easy to hook up the
computer for a full blown CAM system. We need more variety on the CAD_CAM__
list.

Oh well the best laid plans of mice and men.
