Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
I took the easy route 13 years ago. My ELS has the stepper motor drivers inside. I connected to the rotary axis motor and configured the Lathe Z Axis parameters so each single jog step moved the

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
I got Pacific Scientific? nema 23 steppers that came with the MaxNC10 mini ( real mini ) CNC mill that a friend passed on to me before he died . It originally ran off one of the many DOS 's out there

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Hi Mike This is similar to what I built, I attached a belt and pulley and not direct drive. The Arduino sketch composed by Gary Liming is the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gQOV5HUR0w Cheers

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Hi mike What stepper motor and driver boards are you using. Send photos if possible of the rotary table, control box and attach the Arduino .ino file. and schematic. I am no expert but prepared to

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Cool thanks . I built one of the Arduino rotary tables from one of the forums but never got it to work , pretty sure it had something to do with my stepper driver boards , same thing with the L'il

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Mike. I have a mini Weiss 16AV mill that I fitted with Nema 23 steppers to the X Y Z and a homemade indexing head that also has a Nema 23 that I use for the fourth A axis. The mill can be used for

Nice Job ! This is why we do things like this , to see if we can . I forget what is yer CNC machine ? thanks animal

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Hi Mike and members. Finally got there with the gear cutting of the 9 T chuck pinions, I think LOL. Only cut one so far, but entering the pinion into the alloy chuck scroll ring/gear, the pinion

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Mike Thanks for sharing, I have never seen a horizontal double stroke. Fantastic engineering, I am guessing this Gleason machine was built in the early 1970s ? Setting up the machine and installing

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
I asked over on the PM forum how pinion gears were made , & here's the 2 reply's I got . I expect the oldest ones were simply machined from bar stock. Later, they could also be cold formed, hot

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Bronze, phosphor or otherwise, won't be a strong as steel, but should be plenty strong and tough. It's also more expensive, but provides good bearing surfaces for parts that rub or slide against one

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Forgings are not accurate enough for a precision tool. It's got to be properly machined and tough enough to withstand the forces applied. If you really want this chuck to last, I'd suggest the pinion

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Charlie. thanks. I may have to go the route of fly cutting, making an involute bit. I am sure the problem is surrounded by the major dia of the Mod 2 12- 13 T which is 58 mm dia. I had no issues with

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
The cutter drag could be that there was some cleanup machining dome to the pinions after forging ? animal

Re: #CNC gear cutting #CNC
Mike I thought that they may be drop forged, but there are definite score lines of a cutter drag ? or maybe they could be broached ? A female pot broach, and the pinion blank pushed from the top.?
