CNC EXPRESS UNIQUE ADVANTAGES:

• Limit switches in both directions on X and Y for more convenient 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 150 Inches per minute typical).
• We replace the thrust bearings with high performance Timken (tapered roller) bearings. Other inferior designs may use existing thrust bearings which limit the speed and the long term reliability of the machine.
• Custom made 470 oz-in (unipolar rating) motors deliver 41% more torque in bipolar drive method used here plus a 2 to 1 pulley ratio produces 1,329 oz-in of direct coupled equivalent torque at the shaft. Ultimately the torque available at the cutting speed is what really counts, not the holding torque. This design maximizes overall performance with a properly engineered system of mechanics and electronics resulting in very impressive performance at both cutting and 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 and geometry functions.
• More G-codes and M-codes supported, and Windows 7/Vista/XP support.

 

Master Control Software

MillMaster Pro for Windows controls and graphically 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.

• Mill/drill base system with 2 HP single phase or 3 phase motor  
• 5TPI (.200") ballscrews at .003" per foot max linear error 
• Stepper motors (2) 34M470 (1) 23HT350 
• 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:
