Description
Here we go through the concept design of Open Source Ecology's CNC Torch table, which includes auto ignition, gas control, and auto height sensing.
This is a modular, scalable design - built on 5'x5' size modules extensible readily to 5'x10' and longer torch tables.
This is based on a fully open source toolchain: Marlin firmware and RAMPS 1.4 hardware, Universal Axis, Universal Controller, and FlatCAM or Inkscape for toolpath generation. Lulzbot Cura may be used for toolpath visualization and pre/post workflow processing. See https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/CNC_Torch_Table_v19.10
