oldred Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Arash, That looks fantastic. It is really coming together. If you don't mind me asking. What method do you plan on using for wire tension.....weight /regulated cylinder/felt drag system? I am really looking forward to seeing it finished. Please keep the pics coming.

To share with you what I do, when I can, to make a motor mount. 1) I try to not hang in, and if I have to, I hang the mounting plate low enough to still put the motor on top of the plate 2) I make a hinge mount so that I only have to worry about belt alignment one time, belt maintenance is simplified thanks for the tips about mounting motors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arash Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 we machined another aluminum part for the stepper motor: we also bought encoder and the stepper motor for ballscrew: next coming days we are gonna test the machine. we are a little anxious if using an electro motor is a good idea fundamentally. we will test. we may change the plan a little bit and use a huge servo-motor as the main spindle motor. it depends all on the electro-motor and if we can control it's start and stop. I think the electro-motor is fine as almost all other machines all over the world use electro-motor not servo-motors! one way or the other we're gonna find out soon. Oh! by the way I wanted to share some pictures of liquid ring vacuum pump a knit friend of mine developed here with full circulated system. It works 24-7-365 with almost no maintenance costs. 200Cubic meters/hour (~118CFM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ingenious work. Wow.... Build the tools to build the parts and saving money along the way. Very inspiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hey guys. I almost forgot to post the result here. the machine was completed a few months ago. it's doing what it was designed to do. take a look at video below. the bobbin was deformed due to countless of tests but I have no other video in my cellphone rightnow. I'll upload a better and longer clip of machine in action within a week. In the video below you see AWG#10 copper wire (2.5mm ⌀) and we have tested wires as thick as AWG#5 4.6mm ⌀ with no problem though we may never build inductors with AWG#5 wire! it's crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
