Designed, analyzed, fabricated, and assembled a desktop sized CNC milling machine. The design uses a fixed gantry and an AC servo driven spindle to allow machining of steels and other harder materials. The precision linear stages utilize roller type linear rail bearings coupled with rolled ball screws and closed loop stepper motors for accurate, reliable, and rigid operation. The rigidity of the system ultimately allows for accurate parts to be created consistently out of a variety of soft and hard materials.
