Intelys C3000 vise clamps

Posted on 2019/05/18 by f1oat

Time to machine some aluminum clamps for a nice vise.
To be used on the palet of my Intelys C3000.
First time I am using 3D printing to check the part before wasting material and time with CNC milling: very useful, let me fix some design flaws before machining!

Intelys C3000 retrofit

Posted on 2015/06/13 by f1oat

My first experience with Machinekit: the retrofit of an old Intelys C3000 machining center! Three months of work with many new things to learn:

Beaglebone Black configuration and interfacing
PRU integration
Machinekit compilation and configuration
QML programming to modify Machineface
Setup of a X86 VM to execute my machine configuration in simulation mode
PCB routing with Target3001! EDA
How to engrave a PCB with a CNC router
…
and lot of fun

Many thanks to the Machinekit and LinuxCNC community for helping me on some tricky configuration issues.
