So I just cracked-open my IMS flange....

There; the shaft that will be machined out of steel and chained X6 (we just want noise for now, lots of it!). We’ll also place a nice little NSK bearing with a replica flange on it and spin it @3k all day long. Place two micro (super-super fast mhz) accelerometer sensors on each sides of the flange and that will provide enough real-time data (aka bearing time wavelength) to a dev team to (at least) develop the core backend code.

All BS propaganda atm but regardless, gives you an idea of how fast these things move in a real world. Not next week, but may well be the week after

(sorry, Faux, Sunday eve here; wife reading downstairs, nothing to do mate lolll)



Oh geez, already sent to CAM and being machined lolll

That's an awesome virtual mill you have there! If I had one I would just use it as a video game. Oops, crashed the spindle, no problem, reset.

Markus - let this boil for 2~3 days and we'll talk, happy for you to take the lead on this. We need a team man... let's see if we can get the finest of the finest off this forum and RL combined. Let's talk over another thread soon!

Haha, that’s the lathe bud, the mill is below. Oil cooled 20,000RPM spindle, 60meter/min travel speed, servo 16x tool changer (tool change in 1.2sec). All powered by a (Nano-bit precision) Siemens Sinumerik controller and Sinamics drives & servos. German engineering at its finest.

Does a pair of adjustable GT3 control arms in <6min. The mill alone worth twice more than the latest GT4 also

Feel ya, but sadly you can’t crash them, the SIM are linked and in sync with the actual physical machines' limit switches. Extremely event-less and boring!
