The Multimachine project of OSE aims to develop a universal machining system for producing precision parts down to ball bearings, the foundation of modern civilization.
We are starting with our existing FeF Lathe. We are building upon recent developments of the Concrete Lathe.
Development strategy:
- Allocate $30k from Kauffman Proposal to development.
- Focus on round ways as in the Concrete Lathe to produce a universal precision motion system
- Begin with a concrete lathe as the first tool, using our existing lathe for making the spindle
- Produce a Versamill attachment for precision milling/grinding on lathe
- Secure an induction furnace for hardening round stock ($1-5k off-shelf)
- Produce precision round stock for ways via Versamill/induction furnace
- Build out a vertical mill with above infrastructure
The above allows a general spindle (one for high speed, second for high power) and general ways to be created - for applications in all machine configurations (mill, drill, lathe, grinders) from which point we are able to create any configuration of high precision machine (2/10000 inch accuracy over 6 feet)
