Скачать или смотреть CNC Router Project - First Motion

This is a quick overview of the control system I settled on for my OpenBuilds C-Beam Machine XLarge CNC router project. Building the mechanical kit from OpenBuilds was challenging but doable. But when I started to learn about all of the combinations and permutations of control system components, it was all a bit overwhelming for a mechanical guy like me ...

Then I found Vince on his YouTube channel at corvetteguy50, and his eBay store, eDealers Direct. Vince's videos answered many of the control system questions I had, and he responded to my first email quickly, with a custom six-minute video, answering my specific questions. Wow. I decided to buy my control system from Vince, and here are the major components he integrated for me:

Geckodrive G540 Four Axis Stepper Motor Driver
48 VDC 12.5 A power supply
Aluminum enclosure with EMI coating
Cooling system with heat sink and fan
UC100 USB Motion Controller (USB to DB25)
Motor cables (DB9 to DB9)
Solderless Motor Connectors (DB9)
Mach3 CNC software license

I wasn't asked to share any of this, nor am I being compensated in any way for my commentary. If you're struggling to put together a control system for your DIY CNC project, watch a few of Vince's videos. Drop him an email with any unanswered questions. I think you'll be glad you did!
