Big-O-Matic

The Big-o-Matic was designed for high speed production fabrication.

This is an all steel, very heavy duty machine. It incorporates separate dc motors for the turntable and eccentric. The turntable is 28 inches in diameter,

One of its unique features was the use of a Firestone inflatable airbag to provide down force. It can be seen in the over arm support.

Although the machine worked extremely well, it is really just to big, heavy, complicated and expensive to be a amateur produced machine. The machines sold to professionals for $5000 to $7500 and weigh about 600 pounds.

I have no plans to produce drawing of the Big-o-Matic. I have placed it on this site for reference only.  If you are seriously interested in using any of the design ideas from this machine, e-mail me and I will gladly send some additional pictures and comments.
