Re: [Emc-users] Help with Machine Building

Interesting read about using cheaper brgs: www.cnccookbook.com/CCMillBeltDrive.html halfway down the page or so just after talking about belt drive. talks about the load ratings of deep groove, angular and taper brgs and suggesting stacking cheaper brgs to get load rating. also talks about preloa

Re: [Emc-users] Touch up screen device -who is mfg.

Aram, The touch screen I use with EMC2 on 6.06 LTS is the Magictouch overlay. This can be used with any monitor. The 1315 is the one I have. It will fit (barely) a 15 inch screen. It will work with any size monitor up to 15 inches. Keytec, the manufacturer, has an autoinstaller. This worked ver

Re: [Emc-users] Touch up screen device -who is mfg.

Aram - you need to look for Linux drivers for whatever display/pointing hardware you want to use. EMC2 doesn't care what the input device is, as long as it works with Linux. The question "does this work with EMC2" is really "does this work with Linux". You should ask the manufacturers if they

Re: [Emc-users] Help with Machine Building

Aram, Looking closer at that link those are only the flange mounts. The bearings are not included. For a .311" shaft end they are also recommending 2 deep groove ball bearings and not angular contact bearings. Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > Hi > > I found something close > > First end o

Re: [Emc-users] Help with Machine Building

Aram, Those flange mount bearings coupled with a good anti-backlash nut will give you a tight axis. I still think that the flex in a long 3/8" leadscrew is something to consider. Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Hi I found something close First end of lead screw= need have http://www.

Hi I found touch screen on fry's http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5215707;jsessionid=ztaoYpuY180IZdYaGds0aQ**.node1?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG does it mean that any touch screen manitor will work with EMC2 or only special model? thank you aram > I have worked with touch screens in linux at a prev

Re: [Emc-users] Help with Machine Building

Aram, Since you are only talking about cutting wood and plastic a standard ball bearing would probably work. Angular thrust bearings are hard to find in sizes smaller than 10mm Id. The best way would be to support the leadscrew with 2 bearings, 1 on each end and not a floating leadscrew with 1 b

Re: [Emc-users] Touch up screen device -who is mfg.

I have worked with touch screens in linux at a previous job. Controllers that are Microtouch and ELO based are well supported. These have either a serial or USB interface. Here is how to set them up. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Touch-Screen-HOWTO.html#toc6 As for getting a hold of a touchscreen

Hi I remember that on EMC2 show was touch screen panel. I want to equip my monitor with touch screen device. I want to know manufacturers and electronics store to get it. I do not like ebay because I may end up in trouble. Thank you Aram --

Hello I want to build a small cnc demo machine that design only to demonstrate how axis move and not to make steel chip –maybe plastic or wood chip. I want to use 3/8 lead screw.

Hi all, I have experienced something similar. I have a USC setup that was last run a few years back on BDI 2.18. I wanted to use it again, but I have a new computer and wanted to use the latest EMC. I have not been able to make it run on this new computer (this is the second new (-ish) computer I

[Emc-users] EMC2 Failure to Load

Hello, I have not used this machine for approximately two months it was running last I used it, this morning I needed it and it let me down. EMC is failing to load and dumping an error file. At first I thought that I had forgot to power up the pico board but it was on and voltages were good.
