Swing the Y-motor to the inside, next to the router. (The motor can be off-center, while the belts run back to the center)

The line between the middle pulley (hinge point) and the last/pinion pulley must be more horizontal. As you drew it above, when the motor drives the y-car to the right the pinion may jump out of the rack. To the left, the pinion jams tightly into the rack.

Gerald,

I plan to load it as in your machine with a spring which is not shown here, the final drive pulley sits on a spindle which is mounted on the swing arm, the swing arm will be tensioned by a spring which will hold the pinion and the rack together......
what say...........

I understand about the spring. The problem is that the hinge point of the swing arm must be more in a horizontal line with the pinion.

Realise that the pinion must push/pull the car. It must push/pull against the hinge point as much as possible, and against the spring as little as possible. As you have drawn it, the pinion push/pulls mostly against the spring - in one direction it tightens the spring and in the other direction it loosens the spring.

We speak the same language!

It does not have to be exactly horizontal. The MechMate is at 45 degrees. But it must not be vertical.

In other words, horizontal=best, vertical=not acceptable, 45 degrees=acceptable

I didn't think you want to hear my honest comment, so I thought it is better to keep quiet....

Looks like the back of my washing machine. Stepper motors will be so much cleaner...

Gerald:

I appreciate your honest comments, but you know i am sort of stuck with the motors and controllers thats why i want to use em all. I cannot keep them aside and think of steppers as I have already spent an amount which for me is pretty handsome.

What ever it looks like I would be happy if it works......

AND BTW how did you change the color for the font

and the question again......will this work.....

Regards
Irfan.......

Gerald,

Actually it will not,the video will be played from youtube direct and will not take out your bandwidth. Only that the video will be telecast on the thread! It only like posting a link.

When I say "we have a limit", I meant it as all people in South Africa. I can not send & receive more than 3GB per month from my broadband connection to my pc. (I know it is not problem to host youtube, but I want to make this site friendly to everybody, even with poor internet connections)

Problems

Hi Gerald and others.

You can see my Jack shaft arrangement. its overweight on one side, the gantry is more than 30kg I think! and I require that sort of motor to drive it, but a small tap and it will tilt. have to find ways to balance it! ANY suggestions,BTW look at the limit switch arrangements and the jack shaft itself.

30kg is not much. Our gantry, with router and z-slide assembly is 80kg. Your balance should be okay when you add the z-slide and the tool. You can also put your Y-motor to the "better" side.

Irfan,

I have been to Bangalore twice and 4 times to India total. I enjoy your country very much and I really miss the food.

You are showing everyone that ingenuity and determination can produce very interesting results. You are also showing the do-it-yourselfer without a complete machine shop can, in fact, end up with a production machine.

Best of luck!

Hi CB, thanks for the kind words,

Actually lot of material and infrastructure is available here, for me teh only constrain was that of finance which drove me to use most commonly available material and there is a shortage of skilled labour to weld and finish......so all this circus!

lets hope with all these constraints teh router turns out good!
