Dear All members,
First of all , I want to thank Eng.Alladdin for introducing me in his topic.
Iam sorry i can't write in Arabic because i don't have an arabic keyboard but i will get on soon..
I am on a project now making a cnc machine , it is a small prototype one but you know that idea of the CNC machine is the same but when you change the scale of the machine you have to consider different variables like:
Type of the driving circuit, type of motors, current in the circuit, guides system, speed of the machine , accuracy needed, functions and what kind of matial you will use this machine for.
I don't have photo to my machine yet but i will post some soon with some ideas i used to build this machine.
the web is fulled with a ot of web sites to show you how to make one in details and vedios like this web site:
http://buildyourcnc.com/default.aspx
i hope that it will be a usefull guide for all of you but there is some technical points you may not face until you make your machine by your self..
please , send me any enquires and questions or any technical problems with and I wish from Allah to help me to assist you...
I finish my machine yet as i have a temerature problem in my circuit and i don't want to buy a ready made one to finish my machine but you will learn alot when you face a problems and try to get over it..
about the applications and what this machnie can do i will give you another prospective when you look at this kind of project. most of the members look at this machine as it can cut, drill ,mill ,engrave in 3d or 4,5 ,6 dimensions but there are other different group of appications to cnc machines:
first: cnc machnine means that we can control something in the space with different degree of freedom 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 which means we can send a form of energy and recieve it again and get the informations from the space ... so we can make a 3d scanners , mapping devices , motion detectors and localising objects positions . because my interest in the Bio-medical Engineering i intend to use the CNC principles in medicine like making a 3d laser scanner to calculte the volume of a part of human being which may help the surgeon or help in modeling artificial limbs. this was just an example of many and you can imagine as you like..
Second: you can devide the cnc machine into the individual axes and then you can make any kind of machine you want, to perform a specific function .. As an example, 3d cnc machine contains 3 axes moving in co-ordinance to presciesly move an objec in the 3d space but you can use the same principle to control each axis individually to perform the desiered function. this means that, you can have a 3 axes in the machine but not to move one object in the 3d space but to move 3 objects in one dimension.
