MN400 Advanced Motion Controller

MicroKinetics' New CNC Lathe Model 1236 is capable of many of the same operations as expensive large CNC lathes, yet costs a small fraction of the production models offered by major CNC equipment manufacturers. Advanced CNC Machining on a lathe using a standard PC is now practical.

High Speeds
The latest technology constant current chopping drives used in the DriveRack power electronics result in very high feed and rapid rates, while the MN400 motion controller insures maximum reliability with the use of opto-isolated inputs and outputs on ALL connections. Other systems may use direct connection or a printer port whose reliability is not acceptable for industrial applications.
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 1985 using the same business philosophy, expert engineering and technical support!
