GENERAL FEATURES

WEIGHT: 550 LBS

  • MACHINE CONTROLLER - 32/64 bit floating point Digital Signal Processor motion controller with true pre-emptive multi-tasking capable of performing multiple simultaneous tasks. Independent or coordinated moves including Linear, Circular, Sinusoidal, Helical, Elliptical and Spherical interpolation in any combination of axis.

  • FRAME STRUCTURE - Vibration Dampening Polymer casting inside a strong Steel Frame.

  • LINEAR BEARINGS - Precision class re-circulating rolling ball on profile guide rails.

  • AXIS MOTORS - Direct drive brushless closed loop servo for absolute position repeatability.

  • SPINDLE - Push button lock, quick tool change.

  • SPINDLE THRUST BEARINGS - ABEC-7/9 ultra precision back to back angular contact ball bearings.

  • BALL SCREWS - Precision zero backlash re-circulating ball bearing with zero backlash dual angular contact thrust ball bearing blocks.

  • PROBE - Touch probe (optional). Z Axis touch Probe for measuring and 3 dimensional mapping material surface. Used with Raster CAM software
    .

  • TOUCH PAD - Allows the computer to measure the tip of the cutting tool and the tip of the touch probe to provide calibration of the cutting tool to the surface to be cut. Used with Raster CAM software.

  • AXIS TRAVEL

    • X Axis - 12 or 18 inches (30.5 or 46 cm)

    • Y Axis - 8, 12 or 18 inches (20, 30.5 or 46 cm)

    • Z Axis - 4 or 7 inches (10 or 18 cm)

    • 7 inch. Z Axis required for 4th axis rotary table.

  • AXIS DRIVE MOTORS

    • Type - Brushless AC Servo. Sinusoidal commuted current waveform for considerably lower torque ripple than standard DC brushless servo motors. This feature promotes smooth axis movement especially at slow feed rates.

    • Power - 180 oz. in. rated torque.

    • Feed Rates - 0 to 600 inches per minute

  • ACCURACIES

    • Axis Servo Resolution - 0.000025 in. (0.000635 mm.)

    • Repeatability - .0002 in. (0.0051 mm.) Non-accumulating Ballscrew - .001 in. per ft. (0.025 mm. per 305 mm.). Other tolerances optional SPINDLE

    • Drive Motor - 1/2 or 1 hp

    • Speed - up to 25,000 rpm

    • Collet type - 1C Hardinge 1/64 to 1/4 in. including metric sizes (to 1/2 in. optional)

    • Quick Change - Push button lock and rotate. No wrenches

    • Also top loading for burnishing and diamond engraving bits with adjustable tension.

  • TOUCH PROBE - Resolution + or - 0.00005 in.

  • TOUCH PAD - Resolution + or - 0.00005 in. 

  • CONTROL SPECIFICATIONS

    • MACHINE CONTROLLER - 32/64 bit floating point Digital Signal Processor motion controller with true pre-emptive multi-tasking capable of performing multiple simultaneous tasks. Independent or coordinated moves including Linear, Circular, Sinusoidal, Helical, Elliptical and Spherical interpolation in any combination of axis.

    • INTERPOLATION - Polynomial Splining is the process of interpolating or splining between points. Polynomial Splining is a high order interpolation and replaces other common splines such as Beta(B-spline) or Cubic Spline used in some other controllers.

    • MATHEMATICS PRECISION - 64 bit precision floating point math functions which eliminates rounding errors. Using 16 decimal digit floating point numbers provides superior accuracy.
