![]() ![]() The problem with the built-in laser is that it did not actually follow the cutting laser’s path – instead, it has to be calibrated for a fixed focal length. ![]() was having quite a bit of fun with his newly-acquired laser cutter, but was not impressed by the stock aiming laser that came with it. Until then, check out the video after the break: Continue reading “Tripod CNC Plotter” → Posted in cnc hacks Tagged cnc, tripod Crosshair Aiming System For Your Laser Cutter It will be exciting to see how this technology develops in the future. This would add an extra axis of control to an already robust CNC setup. Instead of the traditional movement of a CNC mill or router, this could be used to cut out complex shapes.Īdditionally, if the servos were not driven in 3 tandem pairs, but were all controlled independently, it should be possible to twist the tool in a controlled angular direction. Once could envision this being used with, instead of a pen, a spindle and mill. ![]() This would simplify control and allows the pen to be held at a perpendicular angle to the paper. The machine appears to have 6 servo motors, 3 working as pairs. This particular machine is set up as a plotter, drawing incredibly straight lines, shapes, and letters. Although some may have heard of a machine like this, the CNC tripod remains an unknown machine to many in the engineering word. ![]()
