Key Features

Highlights

• Expanded Working Area: Offers a generous working surface of 51 ⅛" x 30 ⅝" (1300 x 779 mm) with a through-feed height of 6 ¼" (160 mm), providing ample space for larger projects while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for small workshops, schools, or hobbyist settings.
• High-Precision Linear Guides: Equipped with two high-precision linear guides per axis—four on the z-axis, three on the y-axis, and two on each side of the x-axis—these guides are contamination-resistant and maintenance-free, ensuring top-quality results even on the most delicate materials.
• 1000 Watt Moulder Motor (Optional Upgrade): Delivers robust power for machining solid wood, panel material, plastic, and non-ferrous metals, with an optional 2.2 kW spindle available. The tool-free quick-change system reduces milling cutter changeover time, enhancing efficiency.

Details

• T-Slot Machine Table: Constructed from robust aluminum with M6 slots (17.5 x 7.5 mm), this table allows for rapid and secure fastening of workpieces and accessories. It supports a wide range of clamping devices from the Hammer range and custom clamping methods, offering exceptional flexibility for diverse machining tasks.
• Recirculating Ball Screws on X & Y Axis: Driven by a 2.8 A NEMA 24 stepper motor in 1/8 step mode, these tolerance class T7 ball screws (16 mm diameter, 10 mm pitch) ensure maximum precision and smooth operation. The maximum travel speed of 275 in/min (7 m/min) guarantees efficient processing times.
• Absolute Precision and Repeatability: Provides ±0.05 mm repeatability and ≤0.02 mm backlash, with a technical resolution of 0.00625 mm (0.00375 mm on the z-axis), ensuring consistent accuracy for intricate and delicate projects across a variety of materials.
• Intuitive Control and Open Interface: Can be operated with integrated, intuitive software featuring a fully touchscreen-operable interface or with any user-preferred software, supported by multiple postprocessors. This flexibility caters to diverse software preferences, enhancing control versatility.
• Delivered Fully Assembled: Arrives pre-assembled, lubricated, and calibrated, requiring only unpacking and connection to a power supply and control computer for immediate use, eliminating setup time and simplifying the start-up process.
• Height-Adjustable Dust Extraction Hood: Features a 32 mm extraction connection, ensuring a clean working area. The brush ring, attached with magnets, is easily removable for tool changes, with an optional upgrade to a 100 mm "Perform" hood available on the perform model.
• Attachments and Accessories: Includes a clamping collar prepared for 43 mm diameter routing motors and accessories, with optional C13 and M8 (0-10V) couplings for electrical connections. Additional options include a tool length sensor, various collet chucks (e.g., ER16, ER25), a 6W laser head with docking station, and a flue gas filter system, expanding machining versatility.
• Durability and Stability: Built with high-quality materials and Austrian engineering standards, the machine’s 187 lbs (85 kg) weight and solid construction ensure exceptional torsional strength and stability, supporting rigorous use while maintaining precision.
• Optional Enhancements: Offers a vacuum table (e.g., 5042 or 8550), machine base with drawer, protective housing with transparent or laser protection panes, LED machine light, and an external drag chain. The 6W laser head is ideal for engraving and cutting, removable during molding to protect the lens, while the electric fan option reduces noise by half and improves spindle cooling.
