Converting an “old” manual milling machine into Cnc machine

Retrofitting my Old Russian manual milling machine to CNC. A Conversion project of a large metalworking machine including the upgrade form old to ballscrew spindels. The basis of my conversion project I chose a MC-51 Lugansk manual milling machine. A heavy manual milling machine from the Ukraine and very well built, and in my case a favorable basis for the conversion […]

Assembling robotic hands – Kinetic Art

Assembling robotic hands – Kinetic Art

Now almost all the parts are produced, assembling the robotic hands can fully start, and the whole design comes into being. First the previous made fingers and mechanism must be joint by the palm of the robotic hands. The palm is build up form aluminum and brass and custom machined parts. The top of the palm will […]

The mechanism in motion – Kinetic Art

The mechanism in motion – Kinetic Art

The mechanism that drives the fingers is coming together. Layered as a cake the one stacked on top of the other, the mechanism itself forms the wrist of the robotic hands. It was quite difficult to fit all the moving parts in a wrist like form and keeping aesthetics in mind. The mechanism consist of a program […]

The creation of fingers: Treasuring the particle

The creation of fingers: Treasuring the particle

Two moving robotic hands cherish the particle. “The particle” being the only subatomic particle that we truly can observe – light. The hands are built into the likeness of the tools -hands- of the artist. The kinetic artwork refers to the exploration into the deepest origins of matter, and our understanding of reality. The kinetic sculpture responds […]
