Intro
A screw machine is typically a CNC lathe which can use many tools and produce complex shapes by turning or a combination of turning and milling.
For OSE, we can use a 2" or larger Universal Axis with a rotary head to produce a screw machine, combining multiple linear and rotary axes to work as one.
Examples of Configurations
- Existing open source machine for cutting compression screws: Appropedia Link
- This is a CNC lathe with many tools ready for use. A tool turret carries different tools - [1] - or many tools can be fixed and the chuck can move.
- To make a gear - a mill can be used with a gear cutter and an indexing head mounted in a vise - [2]
- Making a pulley - milling a round stock - drilling holes, the holes become the pulley teeth - [3]
- Hobbing a gear on a CNC lathe - [4]
- 11 axis machine - [5]
