Eric: Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

New page

=Basics=
*A [[Milling Machine]] controlled via [[CNC]]
*Allows for the Subtractive Manufacturing of Nearly Every Part
*Is capable of more materials (Such as metals (even "harder" metals such as steel) than a [[CNC Router]]
*Also may have more the the standard 3 (X,Y,Z) axis, such as:
**A Rotary Axis (Typically referred to as the 4th axis if used with a standard 3 axis system, athough a [[CNC Lathe]] is a more optimized application for this specific use case)
**A Five Axis System (A 3 Axis System + Controlled Part Rotation) (This is typically done via turntables, but is also a good application for robotic arms (This is for another page however) )
*Near essential for [[CNC Milled Injection Molds]] for the [[Precious Plastic Manual Plastic Injection Molding Machine]]
*Will also be used for machined parts of [[ICE]]s and [[Turbomachinery]], High Precision Metal Gears may also be an application, although the [[CNC Torch Table]] should work for most applications, as well as 3D printed, or Injection Molded Parts
*May be the same thing/similar to the [[CNC Multimachine]] although this is also sort of a special subset page

=Industry Standards=
==Small Scale==
*[[PocketNC]] which is a small 5-axis mill which has been especially useful for custon dental/medical parts, although it has also found some hobby use for small engines such as [[Nitro Engine]]s and small [[Turbo Jet]]s
*[[Evo One]] [https://makerdreams.it/ Their Webpage]
*Various DIY Designs and High End [[CNC Router]]s

==Workshop Scale==

==Industrial Scale==
*

=Existing Open Source Designs=
*

=Minimum Viable Product=
*Should be Able to Handle Anything from Wood to Cold Rolled Steel
*Should be compatible with OTS Spindles or the [[Open Source CNC Spindle]]
*Should be Sealed With a Clear Side, with a self cleaning view port
*3 Axis by default with 4th and 5 axis version modules
*Should also be compatible with the [[ Automatic Toolchanging Chuck]]
*Should Allow For Various Cooling, Lubricating, And Chip Extraction methods (Compressed air spray nozzle, mist cooling/lubrication, flood cooling/lubrication, liquid jet cooling/lubrication

=Basic Design=
==Frame==
*Either Welded Metal, or Metal Extrusions
*Focus is on density, and squareness/levelness/parallelness, this all leads to stability and precision

==Spindle Mount==
*A Standardized Plate with Adapters for OTS Spindles

==Input/Output Panel==
*Air In
*Suction In
*Lubracant In
*Vacuum Cleaner Output In
*Water Cooling In
*Water Cooling Out (Hot Side)
*Lubricant Out (Dirty Side/Drain for Cleaning/recycling or disposal)

==Motion System==
*2-3 [[Precision Universal CNC Axis]] for the X and Y axis
*2 [[Precision Universal CNC Axis]] for the Z axis (Perhaps of a larger variety)
*Add on 4th Axis module
*Add on 5 Axis Module (For axis 4 and 5 in such a system
