Im replacing a comercial 1525 table I have now. After much searching for a bigger one that has all the features I want I came to the conclusion I need to just build it myself
Here is a look at the new CNC table design
View attachment 369388
I still have a few things to change before I get to cutting and welding.
Not everything is shown in the pic, like the cable chains and plumbing
Still working on the splash gutters but got 90% of waht I want into the design
The table measures 2200mmx4000mm (outside dimentions)
This will take 3mx1.8m sheets with a parking area for the gantry
Slats sare curved and reversable
Below the slats is a mesh to catch parts
Parking areas is 500mm long and incorprates a sump
The IBC's under the table are cut down to 750L's each
Two pumps (pool pumps) one for drain and one for fill will raise/lower the ware in about 2 minutes
The 3rd bay under the table will also have a pool sand filter to clean the water
I have also included a camera and scribe on the Z axis
Camera will be used for edge finding and tracing
Just need to finalise the spill gutter before I can do some FEA tests on the design
Im looking to get 8g acceleration out of the gantry.
So minimising gantry weight is a big condideration while keeping defection of the beam under control during acceleration
