New Serial Numbers #102 and #103 - Kikinda & Novi Sad, Serbia
 
First of all I want to introduce myself, my name is Marko and I am from Kikinda, Serbia. For a while, I'm member of this forum, but not very active, only in reading threads.
Approximately half year ago, my friend Vlada and I, started to build two mechmates. There was few months of hard work, but there was results also!
On this link, you can see how was work in progress:

And one more thing, I want to thank my friend Danilo M. from Novi Sad for all help and suggestions during the work!!!

Alan_c Sat 28 April 2012 03:43

Very very nice work - well done!

smreish Sat 28 April 2012 04:52

Excellent work - pretty machines!
I personally like the hard piped air line on along the x-axis of the machine.

Well done indeed!

Kobus_Joubert Sat 28 April 2012 04:57

Well done we are reaching the 100'th MM soon

Gerald D Sat 28 April 2012 06:17

Well done Marko and Vlada!

MetalHead Sat 28 April 2012 06:44

Man that is awesome !!! So are both machines completed and running ? Need to know if I am givin one or two serial numbers !!!

MetalHead Sat 28 April 2012 06:48

You gotta love having a 4x8 Mill. Is that 1/2 inch aluminum ? How long did it take to cut that? Also are any of those parts you cut steel?

marcobc Sat 28 April 2012 15:13

For now, my MM is only cutting. Vlada is waiting gears and drivers. It can be two numbers or two in one :) They are as twins, but only different clothing!

All parts that I cut was from aluminum, only steel part that i cut was head from screw, which suddenly appeared on cutting way :)
alu for reductions was 10mm (~0.4inch), and cutting was very long because I put pass depth 0,3mm (~0.012inch).

domino11 Sat 28 April 2012 22:50

Well done Marko! :)

danilom Sun 29 April 2012 06:08

I want to be like Marko and Vlada when I grow up :)

good work guys!

Surfcnc Sun 29 April 2012 21:24

Hi Marko and Vlada

Nice machines so congratulations.
.3mm cut depth is safe on alloy so a wise starting point.
Love the compressed air on the machine, great for both a vacuum generator and a direct nozzle to blow away swarf.
The little Mechmate stickers on the rails make them look like a shop bought item !

Regards
Ross

KenC Sun 29 April 2012 21:35

Brilliant built!
Attentions to details is immaculate!
I bet you guys build machines for a living.

marcobc Mon 30 April 2012 17:14

I'm not a chimney sweep, this is only a pic when we were making base table :)

digger Tue 01 May 2012 18:06

E Marko, svaka cast na masini, a i na slici. Bas si kao odzacar.

Pozdrav, Milos

marcobc Wed 29 August 2012 01:58

I was not active on the forum for a while, but there was a lot of progress!
Both machines got inductive sensors for limit switches, relay board for limit switches and relay board to isolate signals of emergency button, touch probe and other buttons on machine. Next thing was 2,2kw water cooled chinese spindle and VFD. I'll post some pictures later.
here are few pictures of work that i done:

plexi work:
first i tried some engraving

spindle with round-over router bit for edge
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...402_resize.jpg

and there was one more work, for one small company. I made 2 axes cnc foam machine with working area 1200x550mm. foam is cutting with hot wire. all part is made with mechmate.
because they have only two steppers and drivers, i must link two towers, two screws, with chain
there are pic.:

marcobc Thu 30 August 2012 14:39

Hello Marko !

Thank you for sharing your job and congratulation for it !

I am going to begin to follow you path and build my MM !

Could you tell me where did you buy you laser cuts pats kits ?


Thank you !

marcobc Fri 31 August 2012 13:17

Lasercut parts i bought from member "danilom". Contact him for price.
I hope that new mechmate cnc machine is going to be on the way soon! :)

timberlinemd Sat 01 September 2012 14:51

Mike must be AWOL :)
But, yes nice work and I agree that serial numbers should be awarded.

MetalHead Mon 03 September 2012 18:24

Marko - Great looking machines. I was MIA for a few days :D

Numbers will be 102 and 103

Marko let us know if you eill be 103 and Vlada 102.

Hardouin Tue 04 September 2012 02:56

Hello again Marko !

Thank you for your answer. I am contacting with Danilom for my laser cuts kit.

I am also looking for choosing my motors, controller, driver and power. It's difficult to fix a choice because there is many products available on the market with various technical aspects.
Which components did you chose ? Are you satisfy ? Do you have some slightly rough edges of your cuts ?

Which ratio are your gearbox ?

Thank you for your help,

Hardouin

marcobc Tue 04 September 2012 15:37

Thanks for numbers! It can be Marko 102, Vlada 103. :)
working area is 2650x1400mm
My components combination:
steppers nema23 3NM and 3A unipolar wiring, 4,2A parallel bipolar wiring. Drivers are homemade unipolar microstep driver (1/16 maximum). nema 23 is very weak with unipolar drivers, and i must go to bipolar option.
better choice is nema 34 steppers with low inductance and good holding torque, and chinese bipolar drivers from ebay (24-80V/7.8A/25​6 Microstep DM860), or best geckodrive. I think that chinese driver has best ratio price/quality.
gearbox ratio is 3:1
