Upgraded automatic tool change facility for AXYZ routers

Owners of AXYZ CNC routers now have the benefit of a larger (up to 21-station) Automatic Tool Change (ATC) facility to accommodate work that has multiple tooling requirements. The AXYZ 4008, in particular, is a preferred routing solution for this kind of output, with numerous installations testifying to the router's high-performance and reliability that are based on the same robust components of the larger and heavier AXYZ machines.

The AXYZ 4008 has a processing area of 2,440mm (length) by 1,466mm (width). The enlarged ATC facility, incorporating a S-mouse automatic tool tip calibration sensor, provides an easy and convenient way of handling jobs requiring multiple tooling functions based on a choice of either a seven- or 21-station carousel-style system. The router is of a steel and aluminium CNC-machined construction incorporating a five horsepower Elite spindle and zoned vacuum bed.

Other key features of the router include the new AXYZ A2MC machine controller that accepts industry-standard G-code programs from virtually all CAD/CAM systems. It claims to offer the highest level of machine control capabilities currently available and delivers much smoother and faster motion based on S-Curve (Seven Segment Velocity) trajectories. For processing large 3D files, a DNC drip feed interface is also available. The machine also features a fully functional AXYZ controller with over 75 operator-programmable functions, extended Z-axis height and multiple spindle options (including quick-release tooling). To further increase the router's capabilities, multiple gantries can be incorporated. The machine also includes an extruded vacuum chamber with integrated 'T' slot clamping system, high-speed and high-torque drive motors and high-tolerance Star brand linear ways and bearings. The processing length can be configured to accommodate different production requirements in increments of 600mm.
