  • Thank you for showing :-)

    Hollow stepper motors are expensive so I decided to do it like matt from the side of my nozzle holder. Some questions about yours:

    The clamping is done my a magnet?

    If I understand the principle right, the nozzleholder can change the nozzle like a BNC plug. Right?

    I want to do the change by moving the nozzle in a slot and then moving up so the magnets are released.

    From what material is the nozzle itself? Rubber, plastics, metal?

  • 123jogger123 - clamping is done by a magnet. The working principle is exactly like you want to do it. The very tip of the nozzle is attached to the brass body like a BNC plug. For more info on nozzles go to Madell's site

  • Did you machine the nozzles yourself, or are they off-the-shelf? Did you drill out the stepper motor shaft?

  • @matt9741399 - the nozzles and the hollow shaft stepper are standard off-the-shelf parts from Madell.

  • @aquaticinstruments $298 for a motor with a hole drilled though it!?

  • @matt9741399 - looks like the price went up quite a bit. Worth trying to drill it yourself. Not an easy task I should tell you. Shop around for the hollow shaft motors. Ask Lin Engineering about their price.

  • @aquaticinstruments For my project, I think I'll end up bringing the air outlet through the side of the nozzle assembly rather than through the motor. Not as elegant, but hopefully just as effective.

  • totaly great idea. So are there any copy right for this idea?

  • @erhanzeynel - that's Madell's idea, not mine.

  • tool holder from fuse legs. Great idea.
