Uccnc fast and accurate
Показать описание
This machine amazes me every time I run it. Originally it was on its way to the scrap yard as its original Bosch control was dead.
I wanted a bigger hobby machine in my garage. My challenge was to get this 7 tonne monster working as good as my commercial machines but using way less power- single phase 220v supply only !
Originally it had 380v 3 phase input at 65amp.
That's not an option in my home garage.
It's running 500 watt Mitsubishi servos on x and y axis geared 3:1
That seems to move its massive 2000kg gantry around pretty nicely (up to 25 m / minute Rapids)
Although if I make multiple full length runs with fast deceleration it s x servo does warn high regen volts ( luckily most machining doesn't use this technique)
I've also fitted a 2 stage vfd to run its 6.8 kW hsd spindle (atc)
To draw that sort of current you need to be using some seriously big tooling !
At present its only drawing approx 4 amps according to the vfd when cutting 18mm birch plywood at 10m / minute full depth with 12 mm cutter. I've had it up to 10 amp running a 50mm ball nose at 15mm depth at the same speed ( probably the largest tool il be swinging for hobby use)
i d seen some nice progress videos of uccnc software so i needed to try it for myself. i have to say its superb- and way ahead of mach3 in its trajectory planner. the parts shown being cut were done in constant velocity mode. (in mach 3 at this speed all sharp corners would be rounded etc - so to machine parts like this would have to be done in exact stop mode ) the very sharp corners shown which are very thin would have been chipped off by jerky acceleration in mach3.
