Help figuring out device brand

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the brand name (red letters) of the CNC router in the picture attached?

Thank you,

Marvin

Cant make it out. Could you try again.

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

Hi, thanks for the reply. The problem is that I'm limited to the picture now attached. I can't make it out no matter how much I try to unblur the picture.

Marvin,

Looking at the Video …

I think it's just a mechanical linkage, not CNC

I've removed this post , Michaels video shows what I had written.

At a guess the part at right that shapes the lens is an off-the-shelf high speed spindle.

Hi guys,

Yeah, it's a pantograph essentially. However, I'd like to use the same drill/router in the video/picture in something similar I'm working on.

Thanks for your help.

Thought I could make out a "K" but its not the Kress logo.

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

Yea, it looks like a K at the beginning the next letter may be a U…

[Sub MandrelParticipant @submandrel]

Are you wedded to the idea of that particular spindle? If no these from Arc might do LINK

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

Thanks Neil. I saw those last night. I may go that route.

I sent them an email asking if they knew what brand this system was and they're the ones that gave me the idea to use a forum like this btw

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

By the way, does anyone know a good mechanical engineer that can help me make a machine similar to this one? Perhaps I should post this in another thread :/

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Marvin,

The Furia machine is very stylish, but it may be worth looking at some other versions.

Google Search for "copy carver", and you should find plenty of inspiration [example]

That said … you mention working on "something simlar"

I would be very interested to know what you are planning.

[Marvin ReyesParticipant @marvinreyes17621]

Michael,

Thanks for the suggestion and link. I'm interested in making a machine that can copy lenses similar to what the Furia machine does. The design is not complicated, I just need to learn a little solidworks I think.

Martin, I have one of these spindles tucked in a draw that I’d like to sell if you’re interested? Send me a PM.
