The CNC Torch Table (aka RepTab) is a computer controlled machine that quickly cuts intricate patterns out of large steel sheets, that are difficult to cut by hand. The machine should be able to interpret DXF files and cut out the defined parts.
Many parts that make up the 50 GVCS Tools can be cut on the CNC Torch Table, making this machine valuable for replication.
Status
CNC Torch Table Prototype II
Design is finished. Stepper motor controller is under way.
- Sketchup Model
- Solidworks model - In progress
- First Run of Prototype II:
- Results: the mechanical structure is robust and lends itself to torch and CNC wood milling operations. Gantry design by Ben Horton. The innovation here is the Arduino-based stepper motor controller, Steppernug - which can be milled on a CNC circuit mill. This system is a replacement for a proprietary version equivalent to the Gecko G540 in terms of current-handling ability.
