do-it yourself CNC-machine

Most of the parts are made by ourself. Linear guidance are made of grinded shafts with bronze bushes.

The machine has moverment dimensions of x-axis 300mm, in y-axis 200mm and z-axis 70mm.

For controlling the machine AKKON a self made CNC-software is in use.

mechanics of x-axis

Controlling of x-axis is done by tooth belt.

Mechanics of z-axis

Z-axis is linked directly with the spindel over a jaw clutch

The USB CNC-Controller

Hardware and software for controlling the machine is also self-made. With the hardware four stepper motors can be controlled. There is also an puls with modulated digital output available. Furtheron digital outputs for cooling system and vacuum cleaner as well as six inputs for limit switches. Firmware updates can easily be uploaded to the controller over USB loaderk..

CNC-software AKKON

Akkon runs under MS-Windows and processes G-Code.
