The Powercore V3 is out of pre-order! All new orders should ship in 2-4 weeks. The Powercore V3 is our most capable spark generator yet. Passively cooled and extremely fault resistant to those just learning EDM or running open loop systems. Grab yours today with this link! 👇

The Betta Wire is shipping soon! We're pleased to reveal the success of the first 4-axis, desktop, wire EDM machine. It sure has been a while, but good things come to those who wait! This video includes a full 4-axis cut in 19mm, 6000-series aluminum. Full blog post below 👇

@YoungMOOBY This might be an issue for noise, heat, size, etc. We looked into this when initially developing the Powercore V3

@RackRobotics Would it be possible to make the input 120v AC and have that convert it to 48v DC, or is that too costly/bulky?

1/3 - Nathan asks a great question here! Why do we not supply a 48V supply with the WEDM Starter Kit? The Starter Kit is a meant to be retrofitted onto ANY motion system. We don't know what system you will use, or what its electronics will look like.

Nathan Builds Robots@NathanBuilds

I can’t believe @RackRobotics sent me this EDM spark generator without the required 48v power supply. How am I supposed to use this? 😾 Good thing I happen to 3 unused 48v power supplies laying around. This would have been a huge setback if I wasn’t a hoarder.

@JoshuaD50349171 @B32712016 We're looking into it.

@JoshuaD50349171 @B32712016 something similar to this. Bent and welded aluminum frame. Ballscrew actuators

@RackRobotics @B32712016 What machine would you recommend that is rigid?

English

Rack Robotics@RackRobotics·26 Kas

@OmanTheHuman1 This is a good point. We're working on more complete options with check boxes (or similar) on the site right now.

O-man The Human@OmanTheHuman1·26 Kas

@RackRobotics It might be good to have an option to add a 48v power supply. it's definitely not necessary, but having the option right there would make it much less likely that people miss the note that it isn't included, while also making it more true that it "Contains everything you need"

Rack Robotics@RackRobotics·26 Kas

@B32712016 We definitely recommend running a more rigid machine than a CR-10. We also recommend running LinuxCNC as it allows very good closed loop control of your system. We will soon be able to offer a controller for LinuxCNC.

B@B32712016·26 Kas

@RackRobotics Been watching you guys for a long time like a hawk. Being able to cut metal at home I think is absolutely incredible and I plan on maybe getting one to run on an older cr10 I have that can be put to use again.

3/3 - While some future options from Rack Robotics will be turnkey machines requiring no additional electronics, our current Starter Kit is meant for people who are technically savvy and are interested in building custom setups. Is this right? What do you think?

Rack Robotics@RackRobotics·26 Kas

2/3 - We have kept the system very open on purpose. Some machines may run 48V natively and will not need an additional supply that would only increase costs for the user. Some, like Nathan, will already have a 48V supply on hand. No need to charge this person more.

This is getting ridiculous, first SOMEONE in the company sends one to CTRLPew and now they're sending them out to LITERAL DOGS? We are SO FIRING whoever is sending these out

@LieutenantRusty @MorlockP Different materials will generally cut without fuss when running a closed loop system on LinuxCNC. Speeds and surface finish will change depending on material, but overall they are very good. Any surface grain can quickly be taken down by 2000 grit paper

English

Rusty@LieutenantRusty·24 Kas

@MorlockP @RackRobotics I *really* want to see some feedback on how it is to set up, how the surface finish goes, how it handles different materials, etc.

@NikWestinghouse @MorlockP We're going to be getting the first Betta Wire (turnkey machines) out just before the end of the year if we keep our pace

@MorlockP @RackRobotics You got one? I am still on the fence. When does the motion kit ship?

Wow, nice Rack! Grab your Starter Kit at rack robo dot io!

Cooper@CooperZurad

We cut a 1" thick rack gear on our desktop wire EDM machine! This is the most extreme cut we've ever done. This is a real deal part that you might see on an INDUSTRIAL MACHINE right on DESKTOP I'm so excited dude. This is gonna change the world. Grab yours at rack robo dot io!

@subonekd It lets you cut metal like aluminum, stainless, and hardened steel right on desktop with the same or better precision than an industrial laser for a fraction of the cost

Subonekd@subonekd·14 Kas

@RackRobotics I don’t know what that is but I see one for 700$ on your site. Might have to learn… whatever it is you said.

Rack Robotics products will never phone home. They will never snoop what you're making. We do NOT care what you make with our products. That said, it's like, totally against the TOS to make weapon components, so just pinky promise not to please. If you do by accident, tag us!

@crazybirdredux @RackRobotics EDM does VERY precise metal cutting... I'll let @RackRobotics speak to as to just how precise... But I'd not be surprised if it's tighter than .005"
