Man has a fiber laser cutter in his garage but his vice isn't mounted down :-)

So jealous of all of your toys! I'd never leave the garage

Nice work my friend!

Great vid! Love your solutions to your designs. You design, engineer, and make everything yourself.

Great job! You make me fell like upgrading my 750 x 1000 Workbee cnc.

I used to have one of those! I upgraded it as far as I could, then eventually sold it to get this machine.

Awesome content Travis! Suggestion: Replace the curved jaw flexible couplings with zero backlash ones. They look like a spring in the middle. They are more suitable to servo applications.

you can use this type but you need good quality ones; these cheap chinese couplers are very springy and inconsistent

Done the same as my chinese 6090 was really dodgy. But time to redo it again and upgrade it.

Murphy's law bit me in the ass at work after I mentioned that nothing could go wrong with my VMC. Turned it on and the controller was dead. Depending on how much a repair/replacement costs, we might go to a Masso G3 Touch and have a technician install it

Excellent work! Planning an ATC router build for next year, using a Centroid Acorn; great to see the ATC working nicely! Could I ask what the music is at the end of the video? It's great, but Google can't tell me what it is...!

Please next time show the mounting process of the components :)

you probably dont want to use that type of tool holder pocket, there’s no positive lock, and during heavy roughing, iso20 taper will fretting corrode, get stuck in the spindle, needs some help from the snap in type pocket to eject successfully. Using the exact same spindle, learned it the hard way! Solution, snap in plastic pocket, or HSK25E!

looks like the tool setter on the J-cut was triggering on the overtravel circuit and not the sensitive touch off circuit. Should be able to see almost no movement when it touches off (at least not the 1/4" I saw!)

I thought that also at first, but it's not...if it goes a little further it triggers the overtravel. I have the same tool setter on my CNC mill and it triggers immediately...I'm not sure why this one acts differently.

Can you provide a link to the mounting arm you used for the masso touch?

hi, is that dust shoe your design? looks like it would be more efficient than the one i use. its interesting how your fiber laser is set up, saves fishing small parts out of dirty water using a plasma cutter😄 i wish i had half your ability with electronics and technical knowledge. cheers.

Hi, was it necessary to tune your servos? They sounds really smooth!

No, they all seemed to work great using the default parameters...I only had to change the encoder resolution to get the max speed out of them with the Masso

hi sir what is the brand of the cnc milling u using?

The new ATC spindle..do you have the model of it please?

I've seen it listed as TL-0840i or DGZX-0840i2

What names the services more useful than the syepperotor? Is it just power?

@diyfiberlaser

8 ай бұрын

The servos are faster, quieter, and depending on the encoder resolution, more accurate. I notice the cut quality to be a little better than what I was getting before with the steppers.

Hi , Here is Marcos from Brazil , Did u build this laser machine ? , I´d like to build one like this , Can u share the devices and where to buy them ?

I like to keep a sharp cutting tool in the collet when changing spindles too! 😂

How much was the fiber laser to make?

@diyfiberlaser

8 ай бұрын

It was roughly $15k...I break in down in the video series: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWGZuLanf5PadrA.html

well i guess that answers the question if you like the masso or not 😂

am i seeing this correctly? no bearing blocks? motors are not designed for axial load

Yes...uggggh...when I opened it up I was surprised to see they designed it like this. I have too much on my plate at the moment, but I'd like to address it in the future...I think it's going to require replacing all of them, since they aren't machined to fit on blocks

Great job! But... It’s not clear why such powerful servos are needed? You are not even using 50% of the power of the machine when working.

he could have used 200 W servos and it would have probably been fine

Pimpy unit.

DO you have a link for the ATC spindle ?
