Miniature Machining Center - Turning, threading and then milling in one operation Mach3 software
Title:
Miniature Machining Center - Turning, threading and then milling in one operation Mach3 software
Description:
The 4th axis is driven by a NEMA34 servo motor as axis 'A' using Mach 3 control software. It has more power than the little mill can use, but the turning/indexing rig is intended for a larger machine which I will be convering to CNC when I get done playing with this one. Doing this kind of machinng with Mach 3 software requires a lot of workarounds and macros, but as you can see, it is doable. Now, having proved out the process, I will make a proper head from a solid block af aluminum with ball or tapered roller bearings on the spindle.

The final video is now posted and is real time, with no edits, start to finish. Update to 4th axis project. Belt drive is final design with accomodation for 2:1 and 3:1 ratios and motor has been moved outboard to keep it out of the swarf and oil. The Mach3 programming now includes switching from spindle mode to indexer mode, and I have written threading macros to do all of the thread ... |

The circle then goes into my lathe and I manually machine one face to fit onto the horizontal spindle of my HM-52 CNC mill. I then use the mill and CNC controll to machine the other side of the plate so that I can attach a 3 Jaw chuck. In this configuration I run ... |
