The Hydra 16A is our large format machine. Introduced in 2016, it features hard resolution (with encoder feedback) of 20 microns in the X and Y, and 0.8 microns in the Z in standard mode. In microstepping mode, we can achieve soft resolution of 5 microns in the X and Y. It comes standard with one yoke with five tool positions, but can take additional yokes to handle more.

Here is an explanation of the electronics of the 16A; click any image to enlarge:

Main Panel

The Main Panel has the Power Supplies, Controllers, Encoders, and Relays.

  • The Left Side:
    • The ATX Power Supply provides 3.3, 5, and 12 VDC power to the processor, lights, and most heads loaded on the yoke.
    • The 24 VDC Power Supply provides 24 VDC power to the motion motors - X, Y, Z, A, and B.
    • The 48 VDC Power Supply provides 48 VDC power to the 3-phase spindle tool.
  • The Center:
    • The X Axis Encoder controls motion and monitors for errors in this axis.
    • The Y Axis Encoder controls motion and monitors for errors in this axis.
    • The Z Axis Encoder controls motion and monitors for errors in this axis.
    • The optional CO2 Laser Driver controls the CO2 Laser.
    • The optional 3-Phase Spindle Driver controls the 3-Phase Spindle Tool.
    • The optional A Axis Encoder controls motion and monitors for errors in this axis.
    • The optional B Axis Encoder controls motion and monitors for errors in this axis.
  • The Right Side:
    • The Hotbed Controller controls the heated or chilled build platform and the emergency stop.
    • The Relays control power to:
      • The Hotbed (or Coldbed)
      • The Emergency Stop
      • The Chamber Heater
      • (spare)
      • (spare)

Front Panel

The Front Panel has the Tablet Interface Board (with STM429 Motion Controller) and External Ports.
