CNC Express GTS™ Milling System

	Our Ultimate CNC System: Precise, powerful, over 150 in/min rapids and over 120 in/min milling speeds plus 8" rotary table 4th axis, electronic variable speed spindle, quick change tooling, coolant, and safety shield, all at a money saving combo package!

DriveRack	MN400 Motion Controller	MillMaster Pro for Windows

The included variable frequency drive and 3-phase 2 HP motor allow operation from any 208-240 volt single phase or 3-phase power. The CNC Express GTS has a good size machining envelope, has very high speed performance, and uses spindle cw/ccw/off and coolant on/off functions. The custom made ball screws on both the X and Y axes allow precision conventional and climb operations and accurate circular and contour cuts along any pair of axes. Offering impressive machining power and repeatability, the CNC Express Mill GTS is available as a pre-built factory certified system as well as a user installed kit. Each CNC System is expertly built and performance tested to conform to stringent standards. All components are performance tested as individual units before integration into the machine. The machines are tested once again for performance and quality prior to shipment to ensure consistency, repeatability, and high quality. This process is carried through to packaging and crating.

High Speeds

Low Cost Accessories

Since our CNC machines are designed around existing manual machines, they accept standard tools and accessories. This means you won't have to spend a fortune on specialized or custom tooling. The most commonly needed ones are included with the package for the convenience and added savings. We offer a full assortment of low cost tools and accessories.

Quality

MicroKinetics CNC systems are expertly built and performance tested to conform to stringent standards. Detailed assembly and testing procedures and checklists are followed to insure consistent, repeatable, high quality.  All components are individually tested and the complete system is tested again as a unit before shipment.

Industry Leader

MicroKinetics offers the best reasonably priced CNC systems and knowledgeable technical support in the industry. Five year warranty on electronics and one year warranty on mechanics. MicroKinetics has been offering CNC systems to educational institutions, hobbyists, research facilities and small machine shops since 1984 using the same business philosophy, expert engineering and technical support!

CNC EXPRESS UNIQUE ADVANTAGES:

• Limit switches in both directions on X and Y Axes for precision referencing and for end of travel without relying solely on mechanical dead stops. Mechanical dead stops provide redundancy which comes into play in the event a limit sensor is not recognized for any reason.
• Lifetime timing belts derated to never break or need replacement in this application but are important in achieving low vibration and smooth operation.
• High voltage drivers offer impressive high speed performance (over 180 Inches per Minute).
• We replace the thrust bearings with high performance Timken (tapered roller) bearings. Other manufacturers use existing thrust bearings that limit the long term reliability and the high speed capability of the machine.
• Custom made 470 oz-in unipolar rated motors deliver 41% more torque in bipolar drive method used here plus a 2 to 1 pulley ratio produces 1,329 oz-in of torque at the shaft. Ultimately the torque available at the cutting speed is what really counts, not the holding torque. Our design maximizes overall performance with a properly engineered system of mechanics and electronics resulting in very impressive performance at cutting and at rapid positioning speeds.
• Stand and other accessories are included with the system at no extra charge.
• Our own custom designed software with built in graphic test mode.
• More G-codes and M-codes supported, and Windows 98/XP/2000/Vista support.

 

MASTER CONTROL SOFTWARE:

MillMaster Pro for Windows Controls and simulates a 3-axis milling type CNC control on any PC running Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista. The CNC part program can be typed directly into the editor screen, or can be generated via a CAD/CAM program. The interactive mode allows you to see the operation performed graphically as you type each CNC line, aiding in part program development or training. For documentation purposes, you can print the graphics screen and the part program together or separately. True circular interpolation on any two axes and simultaneous linear interpolation on all axes are standard. This allows full 3-D surfacing designs to be run on the target 3 axis machine.

SYSTEM INCLUDES:

• Mill/drill base system with 2 HP 3 phase motor  
• 5TPI (.200") ballscrews at .003" per foot max linear error 
• Stepper motors (2) 34M470 (1) 23HT350
• 8" CNC Rotary Table  
• Variable speed spindle controller with a remote keypad
• Precision tapered roller bearings
• Quick change tooling which allows for one handed tool loading with precise registration
• Flood coolant system
• Safety shield/ Splash guard
• DriveRack high performance power driver 
• MN400 Continuous contouring motion controller
• MillMaster Pro for Windows G-code control & graphical software 
• Limit switches, cables, and technical manuals. 
• Included accessories: Cabinet stand with chip pan, shelf and latched door plus the following pictured accessories:

52 piece clamping set	Drill chuck with key	Angle drill press vise

Face mill with 4 HSS inserts	Drill chuck arbor

The GTS Also Includes These Options:

Safety Shield/ Splash Guard Covering the front and both sides of the table, this shield provides an added safety measure and retains chips and fluid, keeping the work area clean. The front forward slant design offers improved functionality. No drilling or tapping is needed - the guard mounts easily with two thumbscrews (provided).	8" CNC Rotary Table	Flood Coolant System Reduces heat around the cutting tool and helps achieve a smoother finish on your machined parts, this system works with water soluble and light cutting oil. It comes complete with a tank w/baffle, pump, 6' plastic hose, flexible nozzle and valve, and a screen strainer. The pump is submersible and comes with a 6' 3-conductor cord with a three- prong plug. 220V pump available on request.
Variable Spindle Speed	R8 Quick Change Tooling

Extra Items: These are typically not needed with this GTS system because it includes the quick change tooling but may be useful depending on your requirements.
