Gecko G203v USB CNC System DIY Complete Kit & Bobcad v28 CAD/CAM & Mach3

Description

Please take the time to read this entire listing. This is a long description, and its justified to explain the countless hours put into offering a package of this caliber at a price that's attainable for anyone serious about starting, or taking their current business model to the next level utilizing micro manufacturing.
This listing is for a complete professional DIY system including every component required to perform a large scale retrofit, or build a larger production CNC robot. I'll start by explaining that no one online currently offers a package of equal value with as many details as covered with this system. Its the only DIY kit designed for simplicity in that a person can build, and maintain their own CNC controller system without the need of searching for endless support when it comes time to upgrade, or service their system. Nothing in this system is proprietary which means you can decide at any time to change or modify your system with any component you choose. This alone is worth a small fortune with so many vendors offering systems that require you use their parts to tie you to them for the life of unit, or until you get tired of inferior, or costly tech support, and parts.
I want my clients loyalty to be earned, and not made mandatory cause you purchased the kit from me. That being said here's a video overview of a clients system I built utilizing the components in this kit with a few additional components.

If you feel after reading the listing you require a custom system please message me. There's simply no way for me to build a single system for every application, but rest assured if it requires motion we can work together to figure out the best solution for your applications, and budget.
The components of this kit are featured below.
3 Gecko G203v (VAMPIRE) drives
Their called vampires cause their virtually indestructible.
They include a full 3 year US warranty direct from Gecko drive
with full US Support. Their specs can be read here, and I hope you take the time to read them to understand the gravity of the Brains of the system

These units also come complete with a custom machined tool less heatsink mount. You can mount all three drives by drilling two holes virtually anywhere you prefer in your enclosure. Thumbnuts get them out within seconds for servicing, or to get them out of the way till your ready for final mounting. The heatsink is also drilled, and tapped with all hardware to mount your drives including heatsink paste.

72v 16.5a (1200w) Tool Less power supply
. This power supply provides monster voltage for rapids that are
50% faster than the typical 48v units
. If your robotic chassis is large, or you need a faster system to keep up with production this is what your looking for. It also provides all the amps required for your gecko drivers in one single unit. This means less initial wiring, and the fact it features tool less power distribution terminals means servicing couldn't be faster. Please watch the video overview of this unit here

6 Axis Breakout Board With UC-100 USB motion controller
This breakout board features the essentials along with expansion capabilities, and follows my simple stupid principles for building a system you can service yourself. The UC-100 converts the breakout board to USB control format allowing any Windows operating system to be used with any computer with a USB port for system control.
This includes using a laptop to control your system
. The breakout board system is complete with its own required 5v 2a power supply, and wiring diagram graphic using pro-grade vinyl , and 3M glossy overlaminate to protect the graphic from fading, and chemicals. Servicing your own system has never been easier as
I'm also including a tool less mounting system to allow you to remove or mount the unit as fast as you can undo four thumb nuts.

3 Nema 34 1700oz motors 14mm Single Shaft motors with matching resistors (7.5mh inductance)
Please read the specs on these monsters here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nema-34-Stepper-Motor-1700oz-in-5a-7-5mh-Inductance-1-2in-Single-Shaft-/131506836013?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
These motors provide a massive amount of holding torque for those larger type knee mill Bridgeport retrofits, and larger systems. Stepper motors lose torque the faster they go, meaning these motors will allow for much higher rapids while still providing a very high amount of holding torque providing the best overall performance in a Nema 34 chassis. I recommend at least a 20% differential in holding torque to allow for maximum rapid travel when required.
Pro-Grade CNC Electronics Enclosure Pre-Milled (EMI Shielded) 19W x 24Lx 8.75H
This is the only chassis on the market dipped in an EMI shielded coating
. Its also the only chassis on the market available that can be totally assembled with thumb screws if you prefer over regular ones. The unit comes pre-machined to support 4 axis. If you require more expansion to support your system please message me. If you require expansion after you build your system you can mill it yourself as the unit breaks down into flat panels allowing you to literally control the amount of expansion to do for your particular application.
No more BS with welded steel enclosures that don't break down
. Steel units are heavy, and typically require two people to manipulate safely. This unit is aluminum, and light (
About 35% lighter than steel
)  yet is made using 3mm for the front plate, and 2mm on the rest of the unit which means servicing the unit with one person is actually very easy. The unit is completed with a set of pro grade graphics laminated in 3M 8518 that you can apply as this allows the end user to label the chassis to their particular preference. Please review the video here covering this design

The enclosure includes
all required
hardware, and your power switch, E-stop, Fuse, Fuse Holder, GX-16 5 pin panel mount plugs to support four motor cables, GX-16 3 pin panel mount plug for your power input A/C plug, A/C power Plug (Power cord requires end user to solder) DB25 Cable, two 60mm Sanyo Denki cooling fans, metal mesh air filters, and tool less fan mounts to complete a true professional cooling system yielding 120CFM of airflow in a push pull configuration.
A 48v 2.2A power supply is included as well to power your fans for a completely segregated cooling system.
60ft of 18/4 double shielded cable is included to build your motor cables.
Bobcad v28 CAD/CAM With All Add On Modules &Training Professor Videos and Mach3 motion control software
These pieces of software complete your motion controller build. Mach3 is the standard in motion control performance, and offers the most support for what you'll be using. It also features all the setup bells ,and whistles required to get the most performance from your new system. Mach3 combined with the UC-100 will allow for it to be used on any Windows operating system. The days of being stuck using Windows XP, or Vista 32bit operating systems are over. It will now easily work with 64bit operating systems.
Bobcad v28 allows the most bang for your buck with
true engineering CAD/CAM software
you own.
This isn't a trial copy, or some limited version. you own it, and there isn't any fees after the purchase of this system ever.
it includes all the add on modules as well.
Bobart
which is picture to vectorization software. This allows for your digital pictures to be converted into machine able components. Reverse engineering is very possible with a simple image of a 2D component once scaling is done. It also features
Bobnest
which allows for you to optimize your machining substrates by letting the software group components to be cut allowing for optimized spacing between them. This allows for maximum productivity on each piece of material you use.
These two add on modules alone are worth more than most other companies whole programs. Research them carefully as I have already, and know they like to charge you for the additional modules to allow for optimal profitable machining. Bobcad also allows for true 2D, and 3D machining once again without requiring another additional purchase. The package wouldn't be complete without training, and that's why this package includes
Bobcad's training professor videos for hours of college course type instruction
. You can now learn on your own time. I personally recommend two monitors on your system. One for reviewing the videos, and one with the program running for literal point, and click learning.
This CAD/CAM software is simply the best value offered with the features it offers. I'm hoping you do your research, and once you do you'll soon see why this is still used by many of the companies shown here

Here's a sample of the video series showing you everything from installing the software to drawing a part. I suggest reviewing them carefully. The capability has to be seen to be appreciated.
