All you need to do is simply click the PLAY icon in the centre of each window and you'll be watching your chosen video in seconds.

 

If you don't have a broadband connection then we'd suggest you don't try to watch these ... they would be painfully slow via a modem connection.

 

All of our videos are hosted on YouTube so you can find them there as well.

Machining Demo

 

In this video our X3 is machining one of the HDPR covers for the TV6 rotary table kit.

General Demo

 

This video shows various moves and operations of the MX3 mill kit and TV6 rotary table kit.

 

Click the PLAY icon in the centre of the screen.

MX3 X Axis Moves

 

This video demonstrates the X axis moving back and forth at various speeds. Movement direction and speed is easily controlled via industry standard G-Code.

MX3 Y Axis Moves

 

Demonstration of various speed movement of the Y axis

MX3 Z Axis Moves

 

Given the weight of the X3 head (approx 45kg) the Z moves are usually run a bit slower to allow more buffer or safety margin in motor torque.

 

The vast majority of machining involves little Z movement and as such running the Z a bit slower has no real impact.

TV6 Two Sided Drilling

 

In this video we are making some of the micro switch holders for the TV6 kits.

 

They are arranged in two rows of 4 so that the first 4 can be drilled after which the table rotates and the second four are drilled.

TV6 Rotation Demo

 

Shows the TV6 driving a Vertex table at various speeds to various angles.

 

 

Too much time on your hands?

 

Sorry for the pun...

 

We used a simple G4 command to introduce a dwell (pause) into the TV6 movement.

 

The idea was to see if we could mimic a clock!

Accuracy Demo 1

 

With the aid of a tiny  0.8mm (0.0315") drill bit we show how the MX3 can accurately reposition over and over again.

 

This demo also shows the accuracy of our optical homing sensors.

 

A US dime and an Australian 5c piece are used to give you an idea of size.

 

 

 

Machining Demo 2

 

In this video we show a set of our ball nut holders being made.

 

Sorry for the blur every now and then - it's difficult to keep coolant off the lense!

 

 

 

 

Machining Demo 3

 

In this video we machine a set of motor mounting plates for the TV6 kit.

 

Each part is made from 10mm 5083 aluminium and has a finished size of 198mm x 64mm.

 

The tool is a Streakers 10mm running at 2800RPM.

 

Total time to make a plate is 18 minutes (timelapse video runs just under 5mins)
