Retrofit of Cross Beam 18 Feet

So this looks like a cross beam mounted onto an old plasma gantry.  And it is.  But what makes this interesting, is we were sent the old plasma cross beam with supports welded onto the frame.  We then used the FARO laser tracker to map the actual positions of the supports and holes in 3D space.  This was then put into SOLIDWORKS and the standard WARDJet cross beam was modified so the new cross beam matched the support sent to us.

The beam was fabricated, heat stress relieved, machined, fitted as you see on the photos, and will now go to powder coating, back to have the linear rails fitted and final fabrication.  When we placed it into position today, it fit perfectly.

Murphy

Ever had Murphy visit you?  He tends to show up at the most unexpected places and the most inopportune circumstances.  I couldn’t resist putting this on the blog today.

Milling an 18' 4" Cross Beam

Yes we build machines a lot larger than the standard units seen on the web.  Here is a cross beam that will be 18 feet 4 inches long with 6 cutting heads that can all be positioned independently.  This will be particularly important with automatic nesting of the 6 heads.

5 axis Psy-Winder

Here are a few photos showing a bit more of the workings of a 5 axis Psy-Winder being built today.  Note the one photo has light in the background.  This is not a trick!  Our new circuit boards have lights built into the board with a switch so if you need to look at anything, simply flip the switch on the circuit board, and the light comes on.  Pretty cool we think... and another bright idea making a difference to WARDJet customers.
