CNC electronics assembly

time4 mo agoview19 views

Watch me assemble a portal milling machine's control hardware.

I made some comments in the subtitles, so make sure you have them activated via settings->cc(Subtitles). This is the second control box that I assemble. It took less than half the time versus building its bigger brother "Midi control". Background info on my blog: https://blog.schallbert.de/cnc-electronics/

Pros:

  • Quick assembly
  • No soldering
  • Many snap-in parts
  • Small enclosure

Cons:

  • Connects to the machine per screw terminals; separation from machine is not designated
  • Loud fan, active also in idle (but can be solved with Schallbert's Fanhack)
  • Multiple external power supplies (Stepper supply, 24V supply, Spindle switchbox)
