Re: My building Experiance.

Today I had time to do the wiring, Been short on time due to events outside my control, including days at a hospital. Nice to get back to the bench. I have been tinkering around getting the cable chains in place before now. Wiring is going smooth. It's all rather straight forward. I thought I didn't...

Re: 45 Degree angle mirror for upward facing camera

Isn't needle wobble the same regardless of the height it is taken from ? Looking at the machine I can't see how Z axis height would change needle wobble.

Re: My building Experiance.

I am interested to find out if and how that will perform... Please keep us posted. The upward camera is important for needle wobble correction and - in the future - part orientation corrections.

Re: 45 Degree angle mirror for upward facing camera

Do note, that the needle calibration will be done at PCB surface level. In other words, the machine will lower the needle to do the measurement. If your goal is to avoid making a hole in your table, you need to mount the PCB higher. And writing this, I realize that this poses a problem with camera ...

Re: My building Experiance.

Thanks for the comments JuKu. I have decided to replace the Circular Hook. I'll just replace it with something from the local hardware store. The thread is still to tight to easy adjustment. Day 2 last night of the build. It was mostly smooth. The 608ZZ flanged bearings where extremely tight. Had to...

Re: 45 Degree angle mirror for upward facing camera
