Instructions
Fabrication
- The Omni body is fabricated through the use of the HAAS a 3 axis CNC Mill. The 3/8 plate is used for this process
- The Omni Plate or Wheel plate is made with the Waterjet using the .063 7075 aluminum sheet.
- Due to the Omni Plates being quite small it is advised that you connect at least 2 together and then grinding away the small connection.
- The omni rollers are outsourced. If one has access to a CNC lathe then one could fabricate one's own.
- The planetary gear is also outsourced.
Assembly
- Put o-rings in the groove in the rollers and press the 1/16 dowel pins into the hole.
- Use the press to press the bearing into the center hole of the omni body and the dowel pins into the 3 holes surrounding it.
- On the back of the omni body place the plastic inserts into the small holes.
- Attach the planetary gear by screwing in the 0-80 screws into the plastic inserts.
- Place rollers with o-rings and dowel pins into the grooves on the omni body
- Fit plate on top of the omni body and secure it by screwing in the 6-32x1/4 screws.
