The burden of making the electronics and using existing software toД¬ontrol the thing, this will inspire others to start building their Well, maybe I have talked too much, sorry. Having the holes aligned allows for a moreД®fficient 'route' for the punch head and less time punching. The idea is to get the holes aligned to a grid without sacrificing the Punch diameter, and paper speed (is there a magic formula somewhere?). Several combinations of punches per quarter note, bridge spacing, Spacing along the paper axis of about 30 rows per inch, I am trying As it is now, it takes about one hour of operationД«eing aware that the commercial perforators worked with a regular Is dependent on the complexity of the music and the order in which the Paardekam's MidiBoek output file to Gcode.ДЄs the perforator has only one punch, the time required to cut a roll

Musical notes, with bridges (webbing) if required.ДЄn old version of that software is available for download at: For now, theДЄlgorithm creates regularly spaced punches over the duration of the Made, mainly on the optimization of the punches. Operation is complete, but there are still some improvements to be I did write software to convert MIDI files to Gcode. Of everything, including micro-stepping, acceleration and deceleration The machine is controlled by shareware CNC software. The past the commands for CNC machines were also punched in paper rolls.

It is a very simple command language, in text files. Those machines use a standard control language code, called Gcode. I have some previous experience with CNC machines, also as a hobby Everything runs on a 24-volt power supply.ДЄbout software, I did not write the software that controls the motors.

I just made some very simple circuitry for end-of-course switches and They do a good job controlling current and allow for micro-stepping. I have also made punches of 3 and 4 mm diameter for street organ rolls.ДЇor the electronics, I acquired ready-made stepper motor control boards. The die is simply a steel bar with an appropriateДiameter hole. The punch is made from a piece of HSS rod, by grinding its end into an Steel bar with an oblong race that drives the puncher. The Z motor has an eccentric-mounted ball bearing it rolls on a long Whole setup gives a resolution of 0.002' on the X and Y axis. The carriage axis runs on a used linear guide block and rail. 08', the X axis with 3:1 reduction gears. The carriage and paper movements are transferred from the motors The Y and Z axis have NEMA 23 motors, axis X a smaller NEMA 17. Pulls the paper, Axis Y controls the carriage, and axis Z activates the The machine has three stepper motors, one for each axis.
