Update #21: Wire Spaghetti
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:00 pm
The last few days have been spent working on the cable wire assemblies for the CNC machines. There wasn't a leadtime on the wires required for the machines, and the connectors were ordered back in January. We are still waiting on the motors to finish these (and all the other parts of course!).
So far over 600 feet of wire has been cut and connections soldered and heatshrunk. Each cable assembly takes roughly 20 minutes to make all the required parts, and there are nearly 150 of them. They are being made through a production process, so here they are a quarter of the way done. When they are all completed, there will be 50-60 hours just in making these cables. Hope you guys appreciate the work being done! Now back to soldering!
