TS3

[calumco]

Been rebuilding the robot over the last month or so, same dimensions but 10mm longer and the weapon sticks out the front 5mm more than on TS2 to allow for the insides to fit.

lots of pictures below......

first up new motor mount with weight saving

Re: TS3

took ages to make but the selfrighter- works nicely and seems very powerful. Made with an 18v drill motor with 3x the sets of gears that comes in a normal drill gear box.

bit of weight saving done but has the areas for more yet if needed weighs 750g atm....

Re: TS3

New bulkheads, as i said earlier 10mm longer and the weapon and drive moved forward 5mm to fit internals inside.

leaving the top section on nylon on for now just so i can stick them in the vice again to do some more bits to them.......

old next to new just for comparison, pocketed the nylon so the motor bracket sits flush inside it too.

Re: TS3

And then it sorta together to show how it'll look, need to sort out bearings next as the 17mm ID needle roller bearings out of TS2 were all deformed so may need to make a steel sleve for them or something im not sure yet

Re: TS3

That looks superb! Maybe you can take out NST again! Its amazing how much force you are getting off a single Speed 900.

And is that a CNC I see? Is it capable of doing Aluminium 7075?

Re: TS3

old bearings from TS2 had deformed due to only being held in nylon so to solve this i made some ali inserts.

Turns out i messed up with my sums lol, so had to clock up the original weapon reference hole i put in the bulkhead, then i held the weapon in the mills spindle and jogged the x axis untill the belt felt right. then i made a note of the new position from the original.

Re: TS3

pocketing the new weapon position to fit the ali inserts into the bulk head...

[attachment=2:3n4z4gyk]BILD0023.JPG[/attachment:3n4z4gyk]

and in, just wants the right sized bolts adding

[attachment=1:3n4z4gyk]BILD0024.JPG[/attachment:3n4z4gyk]

and then all together, belt feels a bit tight but i don't think tight to the point that it'll snap, will have to see. the top bits will be chopped off soon so it wont look so wierd.

Re: TS3

That's really awesome, its going to be a pretty high ranking robot.

Re: TS3

Though one question... why are you using needle roller bearings? Wouldn't tapered bearings take the loads better?
