Hello,
Ich habe für wirklich lange zeit auf Deutsch nicht gesprochen, deswegen wurde auf English meine fragen stellen. Pardon.
I really love what you have done - the machine looks great, your attitude in design and features draws attention towards the product. Through years I have had an experience with BZT, HAASE machines, even had the opportunity to work with KUKA robot back in TU Wien. Meaning, by knowing what the industrial grade machines feels like I know that for the needed task a "desktop solution" would be the most appropriate. The 600 model seems like it was made for the job.
I'm looking for a CNC table for our little fablab here in Riga, most of my colleagues haven't had any experience with CAM/CNC and want to introduce them to this world. I want to keep it simple and most importantly safe for them, yet be able to create some more machine-demanding things.
Could not find answers to these questions in machine parameters/ construction manual/ connection diagramm:
1) From photos her in webpage it looks that the screw type that is used for all axis is not ball but trapezoidal. Is it single or double start, what is the pitch (lead length)?
2) What is your estimated backslash produced from leadnuts?
3) There are no limit switches on any of the axis, your preferred way is to use reference switch + soft limits?
4) What pins 15 and 17 in [Parallel Port LPT-Adapter (X1)] are used for? Are they physically attached to the board and have any breakout headers? Or they are just openly forwarded to [External Signal (SUB-D 15) (X2)] pins 7 and 15?
5) Pins 1, 14, 16 for [Parallel Port LPT-Adapter (X1)] labeled as "relay" - are these Stepcraft input or output pins? Are they optocoupled? Are there any breakout headers on the board for these pins or are they (relay 1 and 2) just forwarded to [External Signal (SUB-D 15) (X2)] connector?
6) In [External Signal (SUB-D 15) (X2)] relay 2 is connected both to pins 6 and 14?
7) Does the machine frame has a convenient method of attaching it on a tabletop (screw holes on the bottom of side frames or so). If not, would such modification break the warranty?
Which logic level relay pin(s) in [External Signal (SUB-D 15) (X2)] takes care for [Switchable Socket SWS-500] ?
9) The steppers are 24V, what is the amperage?
10) The tool length probe, that you deliver, can be switched between normally opened and normally closed modes, correct?
Uh. I really would appreciate if someone here would share the knowledge.
Many thanks in advance!
