Mounting holes distance in the width direction: 53mm.
Mounting hole center to hole center: 60mm.These HIWIN rails pair with the These will pair with our HIWIN linear guide blocks. These HIWIN linear rails are an industry standard when it comes to high quality, low noise, and superior accuracy. Ordering Info: add desired length in inches to cart (QTY 1 = 1"), if multiple lengths are needed, please contact us to let us know.
The measurement from the edge to the first hole is 10mm, if you have the uncut version. You can use a #8, #10, or M5 screw for mounting the rail. The top part of the rail is where the sharper points are located. The mounting configuration is from the top. Generally, these HIWIN rails come as a designation of the width of the rail which in this case is 20mm. The guide way eliminates or minimizes any sideways or up/down motion and only allows to linear motion. The function of this rail is to provide a stable guide way that is extremely rigid and allows that axis of movement to maintain it's position across a linear space. I expect final files to be released by the end of the year.Note: Maximum single length for 1 piece of HIWIN rail is 1400mm or 55.12 inches.
#CNC LINEAR RAIL UPDATE#
The next update will be in a few weeks when these changes are complete. This should help stiffen up the entire machine. I have refined my design with better tolerances and shape. Before I add a new spindle, I have chosen to mill a new Z-Axis Plate and Side Plates out of 3/4 thick 6061 aluminum. A Chinese spindle is more expensive and requires a separate controller, but is more powerful and has less runout. A router is cheaper and easier to setup, but is limited by power and the rpms can not be controlled as precisely. Both options have pros and cons and I have not decided which to go with yet. This can, and will be remedied by either a cheap Chinese 1.5kw spindle.
Moving the spindle fast strains the steppers and applies more force to the entire machine. One of the limitations is that the spindle does not have enough torque at lower rotation speeds, meaning you have to move it faster with a shallow depth of cut for optimal chip load. I opted to go with a 300w spindle, as it is the absolute cheapest one can buy. These motors are also a lot more expensive and require a larger psu adding more cost. Many who have built similar platforms have opted to use the larger nema 23's for their higher torque. There could be 2 underlying causes for this. This is only apparent while milling aluminum as can be seen below. This is when the force required to be issued by the stepper motor is more than it can handle and it "skips" a step. Another issue holding the machine back is skipped steps. I did not use thread-locker on any screws which was a massive mistake that will be reprehended when I reassemble it into version 2. Issues and ChangesĪn issue you guys probably noticed in the earlier pictures are the screws all coming out due to vibrations of the machine. Here are some pictures of the controller box.
#CNC LINEAR RAIL FULL#
A full wiring guide will be released with the files. It is also extremely simple to wire up and get going with. This controller has a ton of features including + and - endstops for all 3 axis, toolpath simulation, pendent compatibility, and digital rpm control for spindles that support it. You simply put the GRBL Gcode files into a usb thumbdrive, plug it in, and hit start.
#CNC LINEAR RAIL PC#
While the price of this controller is more expensive than most at $160, it has full offline capability's meaning it does not have to be tethered to a pc in order to function. The main controller I have chosen to use for this build is the DDCSV2.1. A much more stiff table and enclosure have yet to come. Here are some pictures of the machine. For Right now the CNC is mounted to a poorly made temporary table. After a while with no updates, I finally have finished the first version of the project! While it still has many flaws that need to be sorted out before I can release files and instructions, it does in fact work.
