Item Description:
This is a custom Parker 404XR CNC machine that was built a
few years ago but never put into service. It only has a few hours
of run time for testing but it has never had a spindle attached to it.
It was built using mostly new parts (the three longer 404XR actuators
were lightly used but are in excellent working condition). This is a
complete turn-key system that includes computer with Mach3
installed
and is ready to plug-n-play.
See YouTube video for demonstration.
It is a 3-axis machine with with dual Parker 404XR actuators on
the 'Y' axis (the 'Y' and 'A' axis are slaved together and the controller
uses a 4-axis Mach3 breakout Board). The 'Y' and 'X' axis actuators
have new Parker nema34 stepper motors and the 'Z' axis has a new
Pacific Scientific nema23 stepper motor. All of the Parker 404XR
actuators have 16mm diameter precision ground ballscrews, and
all actuators also have proximity sensor (limit switches) that are
wired to the breakout board to prevent overtravel. The controller
uses a 4-axis SoundLogic breakout board and GeckoDrive G201
stepper drivers with an Antek 39v 500watt unregulated power supply.
The front of the controller has a 'Power On' and 'Stop' button that
turn the machine on/off. The 'Emergency Stop' button on the controller
will send a signal to the Mach3 breakout board to stop a program that
is running and will stop the machine from moving but will not cut power.
There is a digital voltage meter and amp meter the measures the output
of the Antek power supply. The four 'On / Off' switches are used to disable
the G201 drives and cut power to the stepper motor so that you can
manually adjust the axes if needed. The 'Y&A Axis Lock / Unlock' switch
is used in conjunction with the 'On/Off' switches and when the Y and A
axis are 'locked' you only need to turn off one of the switches (Y or A) and
it will disable both motors on the Y/A axis so that the Y axis can be
manually adjusted. If you only need to adjust one motor at a time you
can 'Unlock' the Y and A axis and that will give you independent control
of the Y and A motors using the 'On/Off' switches. (Please note that there
is a timing belt at the rear of the machine that is used to keep the Y and A
axis synchronized, so to adjust the motors independently you would need
to loosen one of the pulleys). There are also digital temp gauges below
each 'On/Off' switch that measure the temperature of the GeckoDrive
G201 stepper drives (the temp probe is attached to the G201 heatsinks).
The machine has never had a spindle attached to it but it does have
a 'Spindle Out' 120v plug at the rear of the controller that is software
controlled using the M3 & M5 command in Mach3 (M3 = On , M5 = off).
There is also an extension cord that has already been run from the
back of the controller to the Z-axis actuator (you can see the orange
120v plug at the top of the z-axis), so all you have to do is mount a
120v spindle to the z-axis and plug it into the extension cord.
There are two 120v power inputs on the back of the controller, the
'Main - In' is what supplies power to the machine and the 'Aux- In'
only supplies power to the 'Spindle - Out' (the 'spindle out' socket
is controlled using a 25amp solid-state relay controlled with Mach3).
The computer that comes with this machine is a newly refurbished
Windows XP computer that I purchased on Ebay and the only thing
I have done to it is install a licensed copy of Mach3 software on it.
The machine and controller were built using 2040 (2" x 4") aluminum
framing that was purchased from 80/20 net. The computer stand
is something that I bought separately and I believe it is constructed
using Bosch/Rexroth 30mm square aluminum framing. The stand
has locking casters on it so that it can be moved around easily.
