1. It is a drill or saw but it fucking uses water to cut. Specifically it is a flow waterjet machining cutting mechanism, manufactured by ati precision finishing. I have two in my closet.
  2. robotic engraver
  3. Kyle is pretending I did t already get it, which is funny because he told me the answer, so actually he wins and it is his turn. Congrats on getting it Kyle, it is in fact a water jet machining tool.
  4. Martin, you know I told you it was a huge key grinder.
  5. Bingo, sort of. It is the head from a Pryor 2068 pin marker. It is used to dot peen 2D bar codes onto (in this instance aircraft parts)

    Either Kyle or Herb can claim victory not martin because it doesn't use water in anyway and while I'm sure he has lots of interesting things in his closet, two of these are not in there.
  6. I'll yield to Herb. Good one Shane. Shane, by the way, I'm assuming those are two electric motors that are attached to the screws via belt/chain drive that move the head in 2 different planes?
  7. Exactly, x,y axis

    We have the same motor on column mounted flat bed type marker but it is limited on what it can reach. When we designed this to mount on a 6 axis robot there is almost nothing we can't get to.
  8. nice. I love problem solving like this.
  9. Geez, the targeted advertising is creepy. Right now I'm seeing ads for Thomson Machine Design Linear Bearings and Guides and Kollmorgan Direct Drive Rotary Motors.
  10. huh?
