Assembly

Tools needed

3 axis CNC Mill
WaterJet
Hex Keys
Press
CNC Lathe(parts are outsourced)

Instructions

Fabrication
  1. 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
  2. The Omni Plate or Wheel plate is made with the Waterjet using the .063 7075 aluminum sheet.
    1. 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.
  3. The omni rollers are outsourced. If one has access to a CNC lathe then one could fabricate one's own.
  4. The planetary gear is also outsourced.
Assembly
  1. Put o-rings in the groove in the rollers and press the 1/16 dowel pins into the hole.
  2. 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.
  3. On the back of the omni body place the plastic inserts into the small holes.
  4. Attach the planetary gear by screwing in the 0-80 screws into the plastic inserts.
  5. Place rollers with o-rings and dowel pins into the grooves on the omni body
  6. Fit plate on top of the omni body and secure it by screwing in the 6-32x1/4 screws.
