We finally receive our new and shiny CNC Sherline 8 AXIS Delux full motorized milling machine!!This incredible piece of equipment, give it by Angelicum to the R.E.A.L robotics group, is going to allow us to make better, more precise and complex pieces for our Google X-Prize Rover (Dandelion) and other projects.
Here I going to show how we do the assembly and tests of the new machines...
First, the scary unboxing of all the little parts that nobody knows whre they bellow :-S
So, lets do it!, after some reading we begin to put the pieces together, thanks to the comprehensive instructions of the Sherline manuals, it was not as hard as we think at the beginning...
After a day or so, we end up with our new and shiny CNC milling machine, ready for the first tests...
Is so beautifully don't she? :-) ...so, we was ready for the first test using LinuxCNC in an Ubuntu PC....first on air to not brake anything:
And then, his first words!! (the name and version of the CNC software):
It works so well that we are very exiting to learn and get experience about how to properly use it...so, stay tune for more info about it and new pieces make it with this awesome piece of equipment...Ahhh I allmost forget, we also receive our new 3D printed!!, stay tune for more info about that too.
