LGME006 Synopsis

Router Copy carver Introduction Remaking anything is become very need of present age. Copy the main design fast and precise is very important, for such job complex CNC machine are used but these are too expensive to buy. If copying job is limited to wood and soft metal ROUTER COPY CARVER is the possible solution for that. It copy the parent design very accurately and in fast way and the mechanism simple and efficient that it does not need any special skills

Woodcarving-the obvious, capable of replicating any three dimensional woodcarving through the rough out and detail stages. Either use an original woodcarving or as many others do, an original of other material that you would like to replicate in wood. Plastic figurines and ceramic green ware make excellent

originals to copy. Since many of these shapes are cast from molds they have minimal if any undercuts to deal with, making them the ideal item to use for an original on the Copy Carver

Theory This mechanism works on the principal of relative coordinate system. In which each coordinate of the design is trace out exactly same having fixed relative position

Objective To build four bar link mechanism for four-axis copy carver to maximize rigidity while keeping construction and material requirements simple. Due to the unique design of the Copy Carver you can literally operate it with two fingers! As we guide the stylus over our original master the Copy Carver effortlessly removes the excess stock from our duplicate

Building material 1) Spindle motor 2) Steel rod 3) Slider 4) Bearing 5) Wood block 6) Plywood 7) Nut bolt

1) Spindle motor Spindle Motors are V3 class low vibration 3 phase induction AC motor. Spindle motor has extra low vibration performance. They are specifically designed for grinding machines and low

vibration applications Fimec high frequency spindle motors are motors for high speeds (from 7000rpm up to 24000 rpm).They are designed to produce high torque, making them ideal for machining wood, plastic aluminum, marble and glass

2) Steel rod Steel is an alloy made by combining iron and other elements, the most common of these being carbon. When carbon is used, its content in the steel is between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. Other alloying elements sometimes used are manganese, chromium, vanadium and tungsten

3) Slider A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one dimension. There are many different types of linear motion bearings Ball bearing slides offer smooth precision motion along a single-axis linear design, aided by ball bearings housed in the linear base, with self-lubrication

properties that increase reliability. Ball bearing slide applications include delicate instrumentation, robotic assembly, cabinetry, high-end appliances and clean room environment

4) Ball Bearing:A ball bearing is a type of rollingelement bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls. In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction than if two flat surfaces were rotating on each other

Working In the four bar mechanism the two extreme ends were connected by spindle motor and drawing pencil. The pencil moves on the design and motor trace out the exact copy the coordinate of the design and hence another copy will be created

Uses • Woodcarving • Stone Carving • Musical Instruments • Cabinet Makers / Furniture Builders • Sign Makers • Woodcrafters • Intarsia • Cut Out Tool

Conclusion This mechanism is best suited for small scale industries and crafting. This is cost effective and easy to handle
