Background
We currently have a decent CNC milling capabilities at PS1, what we don't have is CNC cutting of sheet metal and plate. Adding a CNC plasma cutting table would allow us to utilize our existing plasma cutter for high quality CNC cut sheet and plate metals, as well as continue it's service as a hand operated machine. Bart Dring has offered to provide a CNC torch head, which would allow mixed use by switching the torch connected to the plasma cutter.
This vote is to purchase the following from Procut CNC:
- HD4400R 4'x4' PLASMA READY TABLE - http://www.procutcnc.com/procutcnc.com/drupal/product/hd4400r-4x4-plasma-ready-table
- CNC PART TRACER/ SCANNER - http://www.procutcnc.com/procutcnc.com/drupal/product/cnc-part-tracer-scanner
- Wireless MPG Handwheel for Mach3 Controller - http://www.procutcnc.com/procutcnc.com/drupal/product/wireless-mpg-handwheel-mach3-controller-0
- Water table
This setup includes all of the required components to setup the plasma table including the PC. It also includes capabilities to scan existing parts into DXF files to allow for modification and copying.
As a new fundraising method we will be running a crowdfunding campaign to help solicit donations towards the machine. Items considered for rewards are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q36xlIE4CP1IkoupsClIS6KpbWwV2rTeweRk11R2isw/edit
