Group Assignment
This is SIMPLEX STANDARD Router Machine.
the machine is operated using MACH3
To test the runout we used this gauge. The gauge is fixed on the collet at first then we rotate the collect and observe the deviation. Then we fix the gauge on the endmill and rotate the spindle and observe the deviation. a deviation of 1 mil is observed.
Feeds and speeds
To test the feeds and speeds we designed some circles on ARTCAM and assigned different RPM and feedrates to each circle and then we cut them to see which feedrate and rpm resulted in the best finish.
Fixuring
To cut the design we first started by fixuring a piece of plywood to the sacrificial layer using screws.
Before operating the machine, we tested the runout using a dial gauge.
Sending the GCODE to the machine on MACH3
Cutting the test parts
A press-fit joint test
Design of CAD Model
First Thing You should do is to open Fusion to Start Designing
after You opend fusion go to FX icon and press on it to manage to make paramatric Design
After that you need to desigh a head of the table like i made here (don't Worry I will leave the Designs Down below)
Then I will Extrude the Shape like this (Extrude it as your Thikness of material)
Then Draw on the side view the Leg of the Table like this
And as the previous step ypu need to Extrude it
Then join all the Shapes together
then see all the Shape
Video Clearify the Process of the design
Don't forget to save the shapes as DXF
ART CAM
After you saved the Files you should open Art CAM that you should already installed and Prepare the Files on it (Tool Path , The End mill Thekness , Speed)
