CNC Circuit Mill/Research Development

Overview

CNC Circuit Mill

Snaplock

• Snaplock consists of a high density polyethylene (HDPE; plastic number 4) frame, various metal components, 3 stepper motors for XYZ spindle movement, 1 DC motor for rotational spindle movement, and 3 stepper motor drivers that connect via Arduino microcontroller to the computer allowing digital control of this cnc circuit mill.

• Snaplock's discrete metal components include screws, shim washers, and locknuts as fasteners; flanged sleeve bearings, bronze bushings, radial ball bearings, and thrust bearings for friction reduction; couplings for kinetic transmission; clamp collars as shaft position holders; shafts as linear/rotary movement supports; leadscrews and leadscrew nuts as rotary-to-linear motion converters.
