4 years after, but enjoyed watching. Love the process of making, finding ways to improve. Several comments like "What's the point?" ! I can see several good uses for this almost as-is, and almost unlimited after finding ways to smooth the action and control the speed. It could replace skilled labor for simple welding jobs with a jig and a push button, and dozens or hundreds of repetitive welds. This would be an easy automation project with limit switches, and still not require CNC or programming of any kind. Someone suggested roller bearings on the joints of the pantograph. I'd extend that to placing a pivoting roller bearing at the tip of the arm that you pushed with the 12V actuator. Placing the 12V actuator on a pivot at it's center and the tracing arm tip (that I suggested a rolling bearing tip for) in a track that can be straight or angled and locked would allow for straight lines without concern for the wobble at the end of the actuator's travel. I don't know of a direct use for a squiggly weld, but for a thought experiment, having the actuator pivot would allow the tracing arm tip to follow almost any track, including cursive writing with some more manual help from an operator. Speed control can be as simple as a rheostat or variable voltage supply. Last thing that I recognized from my projects - I always weld or bolt on a grounding tab in a suitable spot of all vises that I use near a welder. I go to lengths to avoid sending welding current through a threaded fitting. Thanks very much for sharing your projects.

Great video. Watching carefully it appears you're having to fight the "stiction" of the various joints. Would some really smooth bearings (perhaps Igus) allow you to follow the shape more easily by applying a steady force?

Try putting a light dimmer switch ahead of your DC power source for the actuator. It s a cheap way to control the speed. I did a similar experiment with a satellite dish actuator. Good luck with all your projects. Keep them rolling.

I think, and I could be wrong, your worst welds were when you grounded to the "loose handle" of the "screw" instead of the screw or vice itself. That handle while ground is not what you could call a "good" ground. Anyway, liked your project, may try to adapt it to my plasma cutter as I'm having a bear of a time with it. Think I'll replace the actuator with a threaded rod and a variable speed drill to power it to see if that works better?

@kcwoodchip7 жыл бұрын
Awesome plan,awesome video. great idea but you really need to angle the welding tip by approx 5 or 10 degrees to allow the co2 to dissipate and the weld material deposited to flow away from the weld spot(hotspot) rather than be directly under the tip. This will allow a much less critical time speed required to follow your template. If you are welding with a computer operated control then software coding takes care of the speed. Manually it is almost impossible. . Great idea and works really well. Just needs a slight angle tweaking and you've cracked it. Well done. .. (Incidentally. I'm a city and welder with 30 years experience coded to ASME IX welding)

for your manual version: how about you add a steel ball under your stylus and let it slide on a smooth surface. This will surely be much more frictionless, therefore much more even in movement. Imagine you have a set of different sized ' steel ball shoes ' that you just switch under your stylus and with another method created grooves that the steel ball can slide in. I am sure it will be less troublesome and therefore setting free more energy for creative play. greetings Herri in China

Good day Absorber, I love your work and how you do your videos. The pantograph is a great idea , your work with the CNC is amazing About the CNC I have a couple of questions , I would appreciate will answer What is the current consumed by the motors? What are the characteristics of the power supply ? What is the smallest design can be done ? This last question arises because I want to make PCB 's and the separation between tracks and accuracy of the stroke is something important David Thank you so much , I really like your work Saludos desde México, si algún día lo necesitas aquí tienes tu casa
@AbsorberofLight7 жыл бұрын
Gracias amigo:) The current consumed by the Nema 17 is up to 1.2 amps. That's the maximum, it consumes less in my scenario. Power supply is 18V, 1.0 amp. This machine is extremely accurate and definitely good enough to make PCB's. Saludos desde Tejas!

Mig welding is done with the nozzle on and angle to the weld not straight on. Mig should be pushed into the weld and stick welding is pulled away from the weld. It makes a better weld at a 30 - 50 deg angle from welded surface.

It's not a debate when you have been a TSSA certified Welder fitter in pressure vessel welding for 20 years That is how the process is done and that is how I do it. That's why I have never failed a test.

cybot63 Congrats on that. However, there's an argument to be made for both in certain circumstances. You may not be aware of them, but they exist. Extra penetration, thin stuff, some flux core, the list goes on ... its not all pressure vessels and expensive kit. Oh and I've done a bit myself now and again.
