Re: 3d models for shop layout

 

Kerry, Brett
?
These ideas will work for lay out ideas. While a proper 3d model would make it over the top for space and work flow guess it is not really needed.
Maybe someday Felder will release models for this purpose. We don't need the super detailed info that they have. Just the basic dimension and slide movement for sliders.


Re: 3d models for shop layout

 

I couldn't spend too much time on properly appealing modelling and geometries in Fusion, so I used some generic simple extrusion geometries? to the nearest couple inches tolerance, but made sure my working "bench" heights were proper so I could share machine tables where they needed to be coplanar, or make sure one surface was high enough to clear obstacles. For example, the?frame clamping press isn't fully defined except with a taper extrusion?for the angle as it sits. The slider saw has a big block where the carriage and cross fence need clearance. Anyways, I made each machine its own file for future sophistications as needed, then inserted them into the main shop file. If I want to add machines later or trade out, it's not cumbersome and keeps the main file from getting too complex. This iteration is from 2021.

A neat feature of modeling this way is the ability to make 2x4 sticks and 4x8 sheets and move them about to test fit.

At this point my shop has reconfigured nearly every year, it's always a work in progress.

Then I drew the footprint of my shop building in Fusion (you can do in Sketchup too) and drew the outlines of each of the machines; pallet racks, etc. and extruded them to roughly their heights. While they are not true representations of the machines, etc., they are proportionally accurate representations in terms of size. I created each extruded cube as a separate body and labeled each one so I can move them around and determine accurate clearances, workflows, etc.? Not as pretty has having accurate models of my actual equipment, but I was more concerned in how to organize it efficiently to optimize placement in my shop.

Hi Nate,

David be the best to tell us if it is worthwhile to relax the 1/2 mil spec (between the bushing and the counterbore in t-nut), which is hard to meet. I would be worthwhile to know the effect on accuracy if the bushing OD tolerance is changed to +0/-1 mil. Which I hope more machine shops can meet.

Re: AD 531 Jointer/Planer

 

If it is the same motor as my Hammer J/P, it should be 4HP and 3KW. A 20A breaker should be sufficient (Felder told me I can use either 20 or 30A breaker)


Re: AD 531 Jointer/Planer

 

Yes, it is single phase. I don't know the size of the motor. I assume (perhaps erroneously) that the 531s all came with the same size motor. (Unfortunately, the unit itself is in storage and I won't be able to access it for a bit.)

I would love to have your upgraded attachment design on my saw but I realize you aren’t interested in fabricating more of these. Does anyone have any thoughts on the feasibility of getting a significant order together and hiring a machine shop to fabricate some of these?

Felder can provide you with dimensioned drawings of all their machines in PDF format. ?They will not release the 3D models, ?but I can confirm that they were created in Siemens NX which wouldn’t help you even if they were made public.

?I have made a simplified Fusion 360 model of a K940 which is nearly identical to a KF700 in terms of dimensions. ?You can download the F3Z file at the following link, and if you turn on the canvas in the browser, you will see that I used the Felder PDF document to derive the model. ?

Attached are two 2D drawings that might help you with space planning. ?These are based on the Kappa 400 xMotion, but this is functionally the same size as a KF700 similarly equipped in terms of shop space requirements.
