[Emc-users] endoscope camera mount?

2013-11-22 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all;

I finally managed to cobble up an
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = camview-emc -C camview.cfg -g togle-caa.ui -H 
campins.hal -w {XID}

That actually works if I use the original halio.c, and I don't even have to 
patch /usr/bin/axis to get it to run.  So except for the lack of a 
background for the DRO display in camview, its looking good enough to make 
me think about making a mount for the camera.

I go out and stare at the right side of the spindle casting, and the 
camera, in search of a vision as to how to mount it both rigidly AND 
adjustable for alignment. And I'm fresh out of visions, must have used up 
my allotment for this year.  Or something along those lines...

So I would be interested in how someone else has mounted one of the 
endoscope cameras on his mill, allowing for suitable methods of tweaking 
alignment.

PM's with attached pix would be fine if someone has the time to send them.

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene

How about a magnetic dial indicator base?  Unscrew the rod from the magnetic 
base and tap a hole into the spindle casting to screw it in there instead.  It 
would give you fine adjustability anyway.

No pics, but I have used a Noga magnetic base for this.  Works good.
I guess you could use one of the Chinese dial indicator bases, but it
wouldn't be the same

Considered but this is a small machine and those things are a good 2.25" 
tall.  And could still get knocked out of whack by a passing wrench while 
changing tools.  So that thought faded till you mentioned it. :)  But 
thanks, it proves that other minds may think like mine. ;-)

Right, this is some lower a profile but much longer, and a passing wrench 
could skid it out of adjustment.  I'm looking for something I can bolt down 
at all 4 corners.

Thanks Erik.

Neat thought, John, but do they sell them for 7.31mm riflescope tubes?  ;-)

If only you had a lathe and/or a mill and could make some...
