Re: G-Rex 3,900 IPM video

Thanks!

What was uncool was the axis supply was cranked up to 75VDC in a
previous run. The motor developed 165W mechanical (22 lbs of thrust
at 65.5 IPS) and took a nice gouge out of my left thumb.

I had a brick as a load in that run duct-taped to the axis. It flew
off and wrecked the keyboard. I opted for an "action figure" in the
video instead.

I'd bandaged the thumb to stop dripping blood all over the test stand
when I clicked the mouse in the video. The miserable thing nearly
took another bite out of me when I did.

Science sometimes demands blood.:-)
