I noticed theres no gear reduction for greater resolution and torque, but it still cuts at a decent speed. I have seen your ads on ebay for this machine. In this video what motors are on here. I know there nema 23's but are they the 620oz version?

@greenjeens

This video is of our first prototype machine 20 minutes after first turning on power. The motors are the Automation Direct nema 23 276 in-oz with a geckodrive and current setting of 2.7amps. Direct drive, it can easily achieve rapid speeds of 1000ipm and a acceleration rate of 50 in/sec/sec. The candcnc.com 300 or 620 motors will give you the exact same performance.

Is this home made? NEMA 23 steppers? What CAM and controller software do you use?

@flguy32501

This is the first prototype machine for Precision Plasma LLC 3 + years ago. It uses nema 23 stepper motors direct drive running sheetcam and mach3.

The cnc gantry has a resolution of .00098" or .0249mm per microstep of the motors direct drive as show or twice the resolution with the optional 2:1 belt reduction units. You would then need to look at the tolerance of the gear rack, but the biggest limiting factor for the tolerance is the plasma stream itself.

How tick can this mashine Cut?, and is it possible to make your own, or buy a kit like you do with small and medium size cnc mashines? thank's

[elvis1669]

@Ebdan88

The thickness is based on the plasma cutter used. I use a Hypertherm 1250, which can cut 5/8" in a machine operation. Other plasma cutters can cut thicker material.

[elvis1669]

@Fluidistor

The plasma uses swirling air to make the cut, which makes it similar to a spinning machine tool. Because of the direction of the swirl, one side of the cut will be of better quality than the other. In this video, the edge quality on the part would have been better had the part been cut the opposite direction.

got myself a LT5000D plasma cutter by Lotos so far so good put my 4 hours in today

[gottmoz]

Can i please get the drawing for this piece of metal?

@elvis1669 Don't get fooled by microstep resolution, your are properly more close to 0.249mm/step

This is what I see at least on my router (Wood router)

I wonder will this cut an Iridium 0.028" diameter pin how square will it be, what thickness of cut and how accurate would it be.

[janotosinnumeros]

i have no interest in machines and metal and stuff...but it's actually fun to watch a video like this

[dogfightvj]

wow, that's how they do it
