Laser Build installation of the Z-Axis Lift Table.
We continue by wiring up the Stepper Driver and Stepper Motors, and calibrate it with the TROCEN AWC708S Controller. The main components I am using for this build are from Cloudray Laser.

Some Photos of the Aluminium Blade Table that I manufactured for this build.
I used 40x40mm steel tubing welded into rectangle frame, then used some brackets I made to secure it to the lift set plates.
The allow blades I ordered as a set from cloudray by emailing them the width and depth of my frame with the spacing I wanted the blades, they then made them up for me.
The blade’s spacing rail was attached to outside of the steel frame with self tapping screws, so when ordering your blade length allow for 8mm thickness of blade on each edge. (eg. if your depth of bed frame is 1000mm then the blade length should be 16mm longer = 1016mm)
On the outside edge of the blade spacer I fixed some flat bar aluminium approx 2mm thick to prevent the blades from sliding out.
Thanks for Visiting.
Until next time, take care. Cheers Matt
