The ULTIMATE Bee was designed by our team of engineers with a great amount of thought into each aspect of the machine. Each of the components used. On our machine are designed to be paired with each other in order to create a perfect ecosystem which results in the ULTIMATE Bee CNC Machine. Don't be tricked by other companies who claim a larger ball screw, more rails/ bearings, or different rail positioning will make their machine better than the. These are presumptions made with no engineering reason or facts by salesmen, not engineers.

By researching the specifications of the. Components, you can conclude that in fact larger ball screws, more rails/bearings, different rail positioning all reduce a machine's performance. Ball Screw Size Engineered For Our Machines.

The ULTIMATE Bee features a 12mm Diameter Ball Screw. The 12mm Diameter Ball Screw was carefully selected by our engineers to make the most of a NEMA 23 stepper motor. Just by having this smaller diameter than a 16mm Ball Screw, it reduces the load on the motor by 25%.

In other words, when the NEMA 23 Stepper motor is paired with the 12mm Ball Screw the motion motors drive through tougher materials with up to 25% more torque than the same motors paired with a 16mm Ball Screw. Why Do You Get More Torque Out of a 12mm Ball Screw? The reason is very simple: the further you apply the force to the pivot point, the more impact this force will have on the pivot object. On a CNC, the stepper motor shaft is the pivot point, and the distance where the force is applied to the shaft is determined by the diameter of the Ball Screw.

The analogy in the image below helps explain why a smaller diameter Ball Screw can be more effective. Bigger Ball Screws are recommended when they are designed to work with larger motors such as NEMA 34, or AC Servo motors for the transmission system to compensate for the extra torque required. Machines of this caliber would also use cast and milled steel frames rather than aluminum profiles. A Ball Screw larger than 12mm should not be used in a design where the motors are NEMA 23. What About The Vibration On a Smaller Diameter Ball Screw?

Keeping low-vibration levels in the transmission system is extremely important for a CNC Machine. Due to this, we have paired the ULTIMATE Bee with a 10mm pitch Ball Screw instead of a usual 4mm pitch for the X and Y-Axis. This change has significant results, making the CNC travel more with smaller Ball Screw rotations, thus, reducing the Ball Screw vibration at fast feed rates. Our engineering tests conclude: A 12mm ball screw has the perfect balance of torque and vibration when paired with a NEMA 23 motor in a CNC Machine size 1500x1500mm or less.

Larger Ball Screws are an incorrect design for NEMA 23 Motors. That is why the ULTIMATE Bee is the best design of its kind! 2 Rails Is Better Than 4. The correct number of linear rails and bearings were selected by our engineers to increase performance. The HGH15CA bearings used on the X and Y-Axis were designed to have the correct spacing between them when mounted to a 20 series profile.

The Y-Axis each utilise a single HGR15 linear rail with 2 x HGH15CA bearing carriages on the gantry plates. In a system where only the friction caused by bearings is considered, having double rails and bearings on the Y-Axis as per the image below will add an additional +100% of the amount of friction, therefore, more motor power will be required. If you pair this with any minute misalignment of a bearing or rail during installation, the force required by the same motor to move 4 bearings will result in loss of motor power which is translated to a loss in performance.

Of a machine that uses 2 rails (4 bearings) on one actuator. Because the X-Axis gantry carries the Z assembly the moment loads (MR in particular) are distributed by using 4 x HGH15CA bearing carriages and 2 x HGR rails. The Z-Axis uses 2 x MGN15 Linear Rails and 4 x MGN15C carriages spaced to obtain maximum. Possible resistance to the operational moment loads (MP in particular). In other words, we reverse engineered the forces that the Z-Axis is subjected to during a cutting operation, and then, calculated the necessary spacing between MGN bearings for the Z-Axis.

NOTE: The position of the Ball Screws, Linear Rails and Bearing Carriage are designed for optimal positioning on all axis (Y, A, X and Z) - another. Example of Bulk Man 3D engineering innovation. Opposite bearing designs are a flaw. The opposite bearing design implemented by other competitors is an inferior and incorrect engineering design for the X-Axis. The correct design is where th.

E rails and bearings are on the same face because the bearings are less susceptible to twisting from moment forces when paired with another set of. The opposite bearing design is more susceptible to twisting especially when paired with heavy spindles such as the 2.2kW. The moment force subjected t. O the bearings in this configuration will induce more runout, meaning worse tolerances compared to a stronger and correctly engineered design that has bearings on the same face.

Correct Couplers Used In ULTIMATE Bee Design. Double diaphragm couplings are designed for ball screws while jaw couplings are not designed for ball screws. Double Diaphragm couplings are more efficient than Jaw Couplings when paired with ball screws as they are designed for zero backlash. The diaphragm coupling design uses metal plates rather than plastic, making them more reliable and yield a longer service life. The double diaphragm coupling allows for higher speed and vibration dampening in the system which is essential for high performance and smooth running of the CNC.

Smooth operation with little to no vibration will mean smoother and high-quality cuts. A design which uses a Jaw Coupling with a Ball Screw is an incorrect engineering design and will produce poor finish on the work piece. Ball Nut Gaskets Reduce Vibration and Binding. Giving the ball nut a vibrational buffer in the form of a rubber gasket, the. Ball screw remains centered by damping the vibrational forces acting on. This provides precision results and prevents the axis from.
