Not yet sure how the new RUclips comments work, but here we go. I hope you receive your reply DrFiero :) I can imagine the restriction you feel in the Y axis. But when going even further the saddle is hanging over the edge of the base quite a bit. I wonder if this will not give any problems. For the proximity sensors please follow the [Full info link]. I have not yet done full testing on them, but they seem to do quite good.
Its something really different indeed... It will make machining hard materials a lot easier.. As we speak the last axis is already done, still need to make the video and web page.. Will be updating soon. Thanks for watching !
Hi.... No magnets are needed for inductive proximity sensors... They sense most metals, where magnetic ones (so the ones with Fe iron in them) work best, but even aluminum can be used. So in this case the sensor just 'sees' air all the time and then when the saddle comes close it senses iron and activates. These sensors (depending on how much you spend) have a much better repeatability as normal switches.
De reden voor deze motoren is dat ik per definitie slechts direct drive wil. Ik ben geen groot voorstander van een pully setup om het moment te verhogen. Bedankt in ieder geval ;) !
I'm finding the Y movement to be a little restrictive. Some people are opening up the area where the nut moves, to allow more -Y movement. Next time I tear my machine down, I'm going to probably do this. Also, do you have a link for where you got the proximity sensors from? Are you finding they have good repeatability?

Thanks buddy.. !
Yes this is the retrofit of the Optimum BF 20L Vario machine.
Ps.. Sensor info vind je op de website.
Klik in de beschrijving even op de full info link.
Hi, thanks heaps for all the information and drawings, is it just me or is there lots of information missing on some of the drawings?
There might be, it's years back, i have no clue :) But this with some free will well get you there ! thanks for watching !

Can you please explane how the proximity sensor works?Did you mount a magnet on the saddle or it uses some othe method?

9 years ago... Hope you still follow along, subscribed and check the latest vids !
@@RoboCNCnl - Damn straight! Still have my machine, keep improving it (and breaking it - of course!) and using it.
@@DrFiero cool ! Great your still aboard ! And I’m the same CNC boat :). Planning on a plasma table next !
bad music :)
Still don’t like the music used? :)
