I'll build me a centrifugal casting machine

Hello,

lately
I've tried a little way on how to best zamak (zinc alloy is a hard) to
parts, preferably, pour into chains and where the limits are for it.

Zamak is indeed not a very easy flowing alloy and therefore has limits to this process on metal konvetionelle kind. I have since made some attempts to make an early T34 chain and it is at least possible.



However, the Committee is too high and unacceptable. So I will now once the next 2-3 days I again invest to build a machine.

After I have collected most of the parts now, I started today to turn a spindle in me first. But I have to cut me off a piece of cutting steel with 70mm diameter.



I turn to about 15mm from 16mm diameter up first. A lot of chips ....





I can then make the fits for two thick stock to me.



Once the spindle is rotated so far I still need the storage side. I'm from a 80mm Alustück I highly abdrehe 30mm and from both sides who affixes the bearing seats.





For
the transmission of power I use a 8mm round belts and turn me well for
two pulleys, so that I determine that the extractor is later controlled
from 50 to 1800 rpm.





The drive I'm using an old sewing machine motor, I control with a dimmer.



Once I have the bearing side is also provided with an approach sees the drive spindle now like this.



In the meantime my portal mill works and has already cut out a container ring and the base plate of 10mm aluminum.





That's it for today

Hello Edwin, I drop my jaw every topic that you open.
Beautiful washing machine.
Joke of course, a centrifuge to print yourself the track links, you're crazy.
Have a nice evening
Gertig

I agree with with Gertig, you are insane Edwin!

And already goes on.

The large rotating disc I have of course also combine well with the spindle. So I put them on what is sucking by the shoulder of the spindle and the hole in the plate and drill the pre-drilled holes in the Seibe ​​into the spindle through.



In the spindle then I cut each into holes M4 thread.



The disc so I can now attach with 6 x M4 socket head screws which I still flush plunge in the disk.



The application ring, I just milled from 4mm aluminum. Here I turn the outer edge nor 1/10mm from, so they also fit well into the screw-edge rings.



So now it fits into perfeckt and is pressed by only three screws later.



Then I have another motor mount from 4mm aluminum milled today with the help of this I can then move and then tighten the lap belt.





Now I just have to find a suitable, large cookie jar or tin bucket, with which I can umhausen the disc. This is necessary as protection against hurled away, liquid zinc.

 fantastic up of progress work ,  beatifull  machine .... robby62  e  riky94  ciaooooo
