High Performance Ballscrew Kit

 

Ballscrew Kit Photo Upgrade your Bridgeport/Enco or other mill with this precision-rolled ballscrew kit. The screw and nut assemblies are made of hardened steel for durability and long life. This ballscrew kit will provide a load life expectancy of 50 million inches of travel at an operating load of 400 pounds. The many advantages in this design over other products on the market include:

• accuracy of +/-.003" per foot

• Preloaded Ball Nuts- Each ball nut is preloaded to eliminate lost motion. This system stiffness provides faster response from a control command. This added stiffness also allows heavier cuts and climb milling thus increasing productivity. The preload is adjustable. This feature permits readjustment for wear and reduces the need for repair or future replacement.

• Brush-Type Wipers: Brush-type wipers, at the ends of each preloaded ball nut assembly, prevent entry of dirt and metal chips

• Easy-Access Lubrication: Lubrication of ball nuts made easy through 5/32" holes in the flanges. These holes provide for attachment of existing lube tubing. Available lengths: X axis: 36", 42", 48" Y axis: 9", 12"

CNC Mill Kit Photo

(Instruction manuals, and fastening hardware are included but not shown in photo for clarity.)

Offering impressive machining power, repeatability, and convenience, the CNC Express Conversion Kit is available as a complete retrofit kit ready to install on your own manual Rong Fu RF31, (now also available for the RF45), Enco or similar mill/drill. If you enjoy building projects, you can save money and have a fun learning experience building your own CNC Express CNC Milling machine. With this kit installed, you'll be able to machine complex shapes that would otherwise be impossible and you'll be able to repeat the process achieving perfect duplicate parts. The custom made precision ballscrews on both the X and Y axes allow precision conventional and climb milling operations and accurate circular and contour cuts without the tedious setup of a rotary table. And it comes with step-by-step, illustrated assembly instructions which make the whole process easy and fun.

The kit includes pre-wired stepper motors, motor mounting plates with covers, ballscrews, pulleys, belts, limit switches, and all mounting bolts. In addition to the above components, this package also includes MillMaster Pro for Windows G-code interpreter and graphical simulation software, the DriveRack electronics with built-in MN400 USB controller. All cabling and manuals are included... all you supply is the base mill, a low cost computer, and your labor. There's nothing to drill cut or tap. Just bolt everything on, make a few adjustments and you're up and running in less time than with any other system. For your convenience, we offer the best quality base machine at a nominal cost!

All accessories shown for the CNC Express are also available for the Conversion Kit.

KIT INCLUDES:

  • 5TPI (.200") ballscrews at .003" per foot max linear error
  • Stepper motors (2) 470 oz-in (1) 350 oz-in
