Hi All,
I finally gotten around to updating the progress I'm makimg on converting
a Titan Machine TMV20L mill to CNC. THE mill is around the X3 size
although has a much larger Table length of 700mm.
So far I've managed to convert the X -Axis and am half way through the Y
axis. Part of the reason for the conversion is to be able to test
different types of motors to be able to do some comparison. I want to test
both steppers (387 oz.in and 570 oz.in) and servos.
Basically to see what performace can be measured from each with a goal to
be able to demonstrate what can be expected from the different drive
solutions.
The Project blog of the convesion may be found in the projects section of
my Website at;

All comments welcome, although go easy as I'm a very average machinest. :)
Cheers,
Peter.
