[00:00:17] <Tom_itx> how often do you have to change tips?
[00:00:35] <Tom_itx> i think i'm running .030 wire right now
[00:01:05] <Tom_itx> either that or .025
[00:01:05] <andypugh> JT-Shop: How did the splitter turn out?
[00:01:05] <JT-Shop> usually they last 30-40 lbs but sometimes 5 minutes and bam they get welded shut
[00:01:31] <Tom_itx> what causes slag buildup around the nozzle?
[00:01:37] <Tom_itx> or is that a common issue
[00:01:42] <JT-Shop> andypugh: still working on it... been delayed by work stuff, customers you know want there machines
[00:01:46] <Tom_itx> maybe i'm sticking it too close
[00:02:18] <JT-Shop> I have a spring loaded cleaner and use some junk that you dip the nozzle in and it helps
[00:02:23] <Tom_itx> i run a 1/2" em thru mine once in a while
[00:02:29] <andypugh> Anti-spatter spray can help
[00:02:40] <JT-Shop> about 1/4" or so works for me
[00:02:51] <JT-Shop> I use the dip
[00:02:55] <Tom_itx> mmm
[00:03:15] <Tom_itx> 1/4" from the work to tip?
[00:03:43] <JT-Shop> yea maybe up to 3/8"... gotta watch the puddle not the arc
[00:03:47] <Tom_itx> yeah
[00:03:54] <Tom_itx> sounds about right
[00:04:14] <Tom_itx> well i think i had it pretty close... just wondered
[00:04:44] <Tom_itx> ever try aluminum wire in it?
[00:05:02] <JT-Shop> I have a spool gun for aluminum
[00:05:29] <Tom_itx> probably doesn't work as well as tig on aluminum does it?
[00:06:02] <L84Supper> the motor guy has the controller as well
[00:06:04] <JT-Shop> I tig thin aluminum but once you get thicker than 1/8" the spool gun is king
[00:06:15] <Tom_itx> pure argon?
[00:06:26] <JT-Shop> tig, yea
[00:06:32] <Tom_itx> mig aluminum..

[00:07:02] <andypugh> AC MIG?
[00:07:09] <JT-Shop> you need one of these http://espimages.biz/2386/I/604/0/AK107.jpg
[00:07:54] <Tom_itx> what the heck is that?
[00:08:04] <JT-Shop> nozzle cleaner
[00:08:09] <JT-Shop> works!
[00:08:22] <Tom_itx> i just run a reamer or endmill thru mine
[00:08:28] <JT-Shop> I think they are made down the street from Andy
[00:08:56] <JT-Shop> you pull the black knob back and insert the springs in and give it a twist and your clean

[00:13:26] <L84Supper> what collet did they use?
[00:13:47] <JT-Shop> I love the c-clamp knob
[00:14:18] <PCW> andypugh did you commit the code to display sserial modes?
[00:14:56] <Tom_itx> those are some big honkin collets
[00:14:56] <andypugh> Aye/
[00:15:33] <PCW> were mucking about with the 7i73 code to
[00:15:34] <PCW> 1. support 2 key rollover
[00:15:36] <PCW> 2. list the software modes under the valid hardware modes
[00:16:22] <andypugh> My matrix_kb component supports variable rollover :-)
[00:16:30] <PCW> so at least if you print out the hardware modes is will make a bit more sense
[00:16:35] <L84Supper> the tool holders use AF(acura flex) collets
[00:17:09] <L84Supper> http://www.gpcollets.com/af_collets.html
[00:17:37] <andypugh> My logic is that if your keyboard is wired with diodes so that all scancodes are valid, then the component should cope.

[00:46:20] <andypugh> I don't see how the two spindles thing works.
[00:46:56] <L84Supper> I don't get it either
[00:47:02] <L84Supper> it needs more pics
[00:47:43] <andypugh> I suspect that there is a lot of machine there for $2750
[00:48:18] <L84Supper> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaCiiLpJiO0 this Emco has opposing spindles
[00:48:20] <andypugh> Ah, there is a second tool turret at the bottom.
[00:49:10] <andypugh> Same machine I reckon.
[00:49:35] <L84Supper> might be worth it

[00:58:07] <L84Supper> a good project for a summer intern
[00:58:17] <Tom_itx> that reminds me of the screw machines i used to run
[01:00:10] <Tom_itx> they weren't quite as fancy though
[01:03:13] <andypugh> I wonder if you can run it as an XZ/UW machine, or if the two spindles always have to make the same parts?
[01:03:47] <L84Supper> http://tinyurl.com/bwzgsl9 I like this CNC grinder as well
[01:04:00] <Tom_itx> i suppose it would do what it was programmed to do
[01:04:34] <L84Supper> they appear to be locked together
[01:04:48] <L84Supper> i wish they had more pics
[01:04:51] <Tom_itx> one spindle motor?
[01:05:05] <Tom_itx> or at least two in sync

[01:19:32] <andypugh> I think it is one spindle motor. But I guess that the axes aren't perfect slaves or setting up the tool offsets would be painful.

[02:50:33] <r00t4rd3d> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200542103383
[02:51:05] <jdh> that's about what I paid for my last one
[02:52:25] <r00t4rd3d> yeah he raised the price 4 bucks
[02:53:16] <jdh> did it help?
[02:53:55] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[02:54:25] <r00t4rd3d> ?
[02:54:38] <r00t4rd3d> earlier the price was 175
[02:55:11] <jdh> not 85?
[02:55:24] <r00t4rd3d> yeah
[02:56:48] <r00t4rd3d> i might buy an extra
[02:58:38] <r00t4rd3d> now that they are discontinued some company that used them might upgrade and they will be used on ebay dirt cheap
[02:59:13] <jdh> let me know if they show up for < $50

[03:03:45] -!- Keknom has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[03:03:56] <r00t4rd3d> im sure that would be the same experience as a intel
[03:05:59] <r00t4rd3d> or a bit more with built in power

[03:15:46] <jdh> are they really the same as the intel boards though?
[03:17:18] <r00t4rd3d> they have the same chips
[03:17:31] <r00t4rd3d> only different companies have soldered them on
[03:17:56] <r00t4rd3d> http://i.imgur.com/HqNOYAv.jpg
[03:18:03] <r00t4rd3d> he almost made it!

[09:35:48] -!- fomox has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
[09:36:39] <sadara> and I'm looking for a servo drive for a AC servo, but I'm having trouble understanding the datasheet
[09:39:50] <sadara> For the first question, I was concidering the Mesa 7I49 resolver card, but have no idea what I'm doing
[09:41:00] <sadara> From what I understand of the datasheet, the servos can be driving by anything up to about 230Vrms

[13:45:29] <L84Supper> FinboySlick: they have made some interesting boards over the years http://www.portwell.com/products/Contec_IO.asp#Motor_Control is where they hide the motion control cards
[13:47:13] <L84Supper> the motion control boards use a motor control IC in the PCL6100 series from Nippon Pulse Motor Co., Ltd.,
[13:47:42] <L84Supper> http://www.npmt.com.tw/chip-pcl6100.htm
[13:47:46] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: Are those good?
[13:48:14] <FinboySlick> And I was mostly just wondering if they design the mobos these plug into with motion control in mind.
[13:48:24] <L84Supper> http://www.npmt.com.tw/basic-specifications-pcl-pcd.htm

[13:59:19] <jdh> if I have a 24mm OD bearing. How big should the bearing holder be?
[13:59:44] -!- Wildhoney has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
[13:59:58] <L84Supper> jdh: what material for the holder?
[14:00:17] <jdh> 6061 for the prototype, tool steel for the final version
[14:00:17] <AR__> make it 23.5mm and press fit
[14:00:32] -!- cncinator [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:00:46] <cpresser_> it also depends on which kind of OD that 24mm is
[14:00:59] <cpresser_> i have books an tables for 'fits' (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passung)
[14:01:14] <L84Supper> 0.5mm interference fit!? does he have a large press?
[14:01:34] <jdh> I have a 12? ton press
[14:01:34] <AR__> yes
[14:01:35] <cradek> yeah I don't think that was meant as actual advice
[14:01:47] <jdh> but, that seems excessive for a bearing.

[14:02:47] -!- servos4ever [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[14:02:57] <cpresser_> most likeley the bearging is "24h7" which indicates its maximimum diameter is 24mm, its minimum is 24mm-0.021mm

[14:03:15] herron is now known as archivist_herron
[14:03:28] <cpresser_> the bore as 24H7 is 24mm+0.021mm
[14:03:47] <cpresser_> which gives you a transition-fit
[14:03:51] <L84Supper> any axial forces?
[14:04:08] <AR__> ok so then at most 23.9mm
[14:04:37] <archivist_herron> press fit is .001 " per inch of diameter as a rule of thumb
[14:04:43] <cradek> I'd guess more like 23.95 (.03-.05 interference)
[14:04:58] <L84Supper> that sounds about right

[14:05:23] -!- Celelibi has quit [Excess Flood]
[14:05:26] <cradek> in Al anyway. for steel you might want it bigger?
[14:05:28] <archivist_herron> but is the bearing designed for press fit or sliding fit
[14:05:41] <AR__> archivist_herron, so a 1" OD will press fit into a .999" ID?
[14:05:48] <cradek> it's true, the bearing manufacturer's opinion would be better than all of ours
[14:05:50] <archivist_herron> the clearance of the balls is different
[14:06:31] <L84Supper> will the axial forces want to push or pull the bearing from the holder?
[14:06:45] <AR__> yes
[14:07:08] <cpresser_> check "DIN ISO 286-1"
[14:07:09] <cradek> I've definitely had bearings get "tight feeling" when press-fit

[14:09:17] <L84Supper> depends on how tight, ever work on auto wheel bearings? you often tighten and then measure preload

[14:13:09] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: Most of this is a bit over my head. This was more about the potential for a good, relatively powerful mobo for LinuxCNC, assuming that Portwell would design the motherboard with system latency in mind.

[14:15:36] <L84Supper> FinboySlick: nah, just standard stuff with Phoenix or similar BIOS

[14:18:45] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: Is coreboot affected by the spread of UEFI? I'm thinking that since they tend to be much larger, it would mean more room on the typical motherboard bios chip, but then there's secureboot too.
[14:19:58] <L84Supper> FinboySlick: we used to cram coreboot in 256KB of flash so 1-2MB is enough for coreboot + Linux kernel
[14:20:42] <FinboySlick> In many boards, it's 32Mbit/4MB now.

[14:34:13] <L84Supper> FinboySlick: the Mesa boards use FPGA's so the hardware may be customized, the Portwell boards use an ASIC that only lets you modify register settings
[14:35:21] <L84Supper> need some extra counters of some IO for something specific, it's not a problem with Mesa, with portwell you might have to add another board or add an FGPA card to do the same thing
[14:35:48] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: I'm definitely keener on mesa, though it's a bit moot with my mill. I can already drive it faster than its rigidity allows for accurate parts.

[17:17:18] <FinboySlick> L84Supper: I was watching a few youtubes of people attempting to recylce HD heads into laser galvanometers last night.
[17:21:03] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: hmmm
[17:21:11] <Loetmichel> WAY to much mass
[17:21:17] <Loetmichel> -> to slow ;-)
[17:21:39] <FinboySlick> Loetmichel: I agree, though for a ghetto laser show, it'd probably still work.
[17:21:55] <FinboySlick> IF you get rid of the actual head and just use the actuator, which is usually plastic.
[17:22:04] <Loetmichel> with lissajous figures: maybe
[17:22:23] <Loetmichel> with anything "drawn" with right angles: no ;-)
[17:23:39] <Loetmichel> FinboySlick: the acuator sits usually on a 1/4" or bigger shaft with two ball bearings
[17:23:56] <FinboySlick> Do they make piezo-actuated galvanometer? For a set scan rate, I'd assume those would be very fast.
[17:24:05] <Loetmichel> that alone has to much mass for anything abpve a few kHz ;-)
[17:24:29] <FinboySlick> They'd have to be very small to get any meaningful angle.
[17:24:54] <Loetmichel> not necessarily
[17:24:59] <Loetmichel> man piezo stack
[17:25:39] <FinboySlick> There'd be a mass advantage to make them small too though.
[17:26:31] <Loetmichel> thats right
[17:26:37] <FinboySlick> I imagine that this is how DLP works, piezo-actuated mirrors.
[17:26:51] <Loetmichel> but jou have to stay bigger than the laser dot ;-)
[17:27:15] <L84Supper> yeah, they make piezo galvo type mirrors
[17:28:27] <Loetmichel> right, dlp = masses of VERY tiny piezo mirrors on a SI-bed

[17:51:05] <L84Supper> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4HG6v29UY Casio Laser projector burns some stuff
[17:51:44] <pcw_home> I looked a little at white led on/off times and may are quite fast so 1 Usec pulses are possible (With some yellow tailing)
[17:51:49] <IchGuckLive> the co2 lasers got belw 400USD so it will be part of time to be CNC stufff
[17:52:00] <pcw_home> s/may/many/
[17:52:42] <L84Supper> high power LED prices are dropping like rocks
[17:52:48] <pcw_home> so a 100W (about $22) white LED might be a pretty decent strobe down to 1 usec or so
[17:53:06] <pcw_home> blue is good to 10 nS or so
[17:53:44] <L84Supper> 2 months ago I paid $30 for a 1w 405nm, yesterday I paid $3
[17:53:45] <IchGuckLive> the 100W china Neodyn lasers are also afortable
[17:53:49] <pcw_home> (assumin you have a decent driver)
[17:55:39] <pcw_home> Dont know about the white ones, but you can overdrive about 5X current for short duty cycles and get maybe 3X flux
[17:55:50] <pcw_home> (on blue)
[17:56:39] <L84Supper> it's however you can cool them is pretty much the limiting factor
[17:56:49] <pcw_home> No need
[17:57:17] <pcw_home> were talking 1% or lower duty cycles
[17:57:39] <L84Supper> I was commenting on CW

[18:03:04] <pcw_home> Jeez theres got to be prior art for lissajous scanners from the 30s
[18:03:31] <L84Supper> doesn't stop a patent anymore
[18:04:01] <L84Supper> they just file and many get approved with the attitude to let the courts sort it out
[18:05:04] <IchGuckLive> pcw_home: is a modern PC cooler enoph to cool a 100W LED
[18:07:02] <pcw_home> I think so , that seems to be what people use
[18:07:51] <IchGuckLive> 35V is pretty high at 3.5A
[18:10:14] <pcw_home> well that 100W in, not sure what the luminous efficiency is by most of that winds up as heat

[18:12:06] <IchGuckLive> we will see a change in techiks on lightning
[18:12:18] <IchGuckLive> as the tecnologia chenges
[18:12:55] <IchGuckLive> if the US get all there monster Fresers of it will be drop at 40% in power request
[18:13:29] <IchGuckLive> ice mashines and aircooler drops that 2 65%
[18:14:03] <IchGuckLive> so the south states wil get solar powerd up to 95%
[18:14:58] <pcw_home> FinboySlick: a couple of those and a blue laser would make a nice photo-polymer 3d setup
[18:15:10] <andypugh> FinboySlick: They don't show it, but I think that a gymbal-style arrangment ought to allow 2D scannning?
[18:16:56] <FinboySlick> pcw_home: That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if they make fpga big enough to store a decent frame buffer. Two chips, one fpga and a laser gets you a complete setup you can just push slices to.
[18:17:47] <pcw_home> My dentist gave me a bit of the tooth repair photopolymer to hold in my hand while he hardened it with the blue LED
[18:17:49] <pcw_home> Amazingly fast transition from putty to rock

[22:45:22] <zenek_> hi
[22:45:33] <gmag> :)
[22:46:25] <gmag> I wonder how much a cork extrusion machine would cost... any idea? (certainly offtopic)
[22:48:12] <gmag> if I can't get an answer in this channel, I won't get it anywhere in freenode :) I had to try here

[23:00:16] <gmag> L84Supper, machine that extrudes cork. Natural cork
[23:00:44] -!- adb [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:01:43] <gmag> L84Supper, but if you know of any reference please share. I just want to get an idea of how much I would pay for one of those machines
[23:01:46] <Tom_itx> you sure it's extruded?
[23:01:54] <Tom_itx> kinda have my doubts
[23:01:59] <gmag> Tom_itx, what do you mean
[23:02:08] <gmag> the cork is extruded
[23:03:05] <gmag> to make stoppers are made by extrusion
[23:03:19] <cpresser_> i dont understand how it would work. cork itself has no cohesion
[23:03:52] <gmag> cpresser_, they mix other stuff
[23:04:12] <gmag> stoppers are not made of pure cork
[23:04:34] <gmag> there's silicon and paraffin
[23:05:21] <gmag> cork is baked, mixed with these other "ingredients" and then extruded
[23:05:24] <cpresser_> are you sure its free-form extruded? i would rather guess it gets molded
[23:06:40] -!- mhaberler [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:09:28] -!- FinboySlick has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[23:09:42] <gmag> cpresser_, that stopper you're thinking about is a very expensive one
[23:09:51] <gmag> you dont see it often
[23:10:02] <gmag> a pure cork stopper is vary rare
[23:10:19] <cpresser_> pictures?
[23:10:28] <gmag> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETsl-TiLowI
[23:10:47] <gmag> this video shows those expensive stoppers being made
[23:11:47] <cpresser_> i dont think so. they show cork for wine bottles
[23:12:29] <gmag> http://www.cork.pt/agglomerated-cork-stoppers.html
[23:12:40] <gmag> a reference is made to cork extrusion there

[23:14:20] -!- tmcw has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[23:14:25] <cpresser_> yes. LINEAR extrusion
[23:14:41] <cpresser_> for cylindrical shapes
[23:14:59] <gmag> exacly
[23:15:38] <gmag> any idea of the price of one of these machines? Probably the price would be the same of a plastic extruder (??)
[23:16:19] <cpresser_> i dont think you can buy them off the shelf
[23:16:39] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop could build you one
[23:16:47] <cpresser_> most likely they are custom made.
[23:17:19] <gmag> JT-Shop? :)
[23:17:22] <gmag> what's that?
[23:17:35] <gmag> jthornton shop?
[23:18:52] <gmag> cpresser_, you're probably right
[23:19:00] -!- AR_ [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc
[23:19:46] <gmag> cpresser_, I'd like to make one of these machines. But I dont have expertise to do it.
[23:20:31] <gmag> I was able to make a desktop CNC and I would say 90% of it I got from LinuxCNC :)
[23:20:34] <L84Supper> a plastic extruder for something 20mm dia would sell for >$125K that extrudes ~80Kg/hour
[23:20:43] <gmag> considering the software 90% of the cnc of course...
[23:21:07] <cpresser_> since it wont require heating (at least i guess so), you could use a kitchen extuder (for meat grinding or sausages)

[23:22:20] <Tom_itx> JT-Shop, i told him you'd volunteer to make him a cork extruder :D
[23:22:51] <L84Supper> where was that link to the big dc motor and gearbox?
[23:23:36] <L84Supper> http://racine.craigslist.org/bfs/3693598309.html that will save you ~$15K
[23:24:05] <gmag> L84Supper, registered, good to know that
[23:24:13] <JT-Shop> for a wine bottle?
[23:24:20] <Tom_itx> apparently
[23:25:00] <gmag> JT-Shop, yeah
[23:25:45] <gmag> I'm seriously thinknig in making one or ask someone to make one

[23:25:56] <L84Supper> 4.5" PLASTIC EXTRUDER

[23:26:50] <L84Supper> RUNNING HDPE: 700 LBS/HR
[23:27:03] <L84Supper> how many corks do you need a hour?
[23:27:36] <L84Supper> a plastic extruder won't work with actual cork from a tree
[23:28:19] <L84Supper> but this gives you an idea of the size motor and screw you'll be looking at to move material
[23:29:18] -!- tomp3 [[email protected]] has joined #linuxcnc

[23:29:56] -!- tomp3 has quit [Client Quit]
[23:30:09] <L84Supper> somebody must make a barrel screw design for cork composite
[23:30:41] <L84Supper> in fact it might not even be a screw, more of a piston and cylinder
[23:32:19] <cpresser_> gmag: http://fehrmann.de/bilder/fleischereimaschinen/fleischereimaschinen-wurstmaschine.jpg
[23:32:43] <cpresser_> those are used for sausages; a few of them use a piston
[23:32:55] <cpresser_> i guess those are less then 10k$
[23:33:56] <gmag> cpresser_, quite interesting!!

[23:34:16] <L84Supper> US $1,200.00
[23:36:29] <cpresser_> but be carefull, some of them use a rotary-vane pump for transport
[23:36:39] <gmag> yeah, that's what I call thinking out of the box. My mind was focused on cork only... silly of me
[23:36:52] <cpresser_> i dont think that those designs can deliver enought pressure
[23:37:13] <Tom_itx> me either
[23:37:45] <L84Supper> the patent drawings on cork extruders just look more heavy duty
[23:38:06] <gmag> L84Supper, patent drwaings? Where
[23:38:21] <L84Supper> look up cork extruders
[23:38:26] <gmag> yup
