We’ve put together common questions that our clients usually ask when choosing a CNC milling machine, and here are the answers!

Routers come in a variety of sizes and configurations, with three or five axes. We discussed that sort of equipment for hobbies and home in another article, which you can access by following the link.

On our machines, stepper motors are included in the basic configuration, but they may be changed to a servo or hybrid by your wish.

Here we can finally talk about the joints of our machine. Guides, stepper or servo motors, planetary gear, and belt gears.

Despite all that, NcStudio is often used due to the more clear work process than with a DSP controller. You can easily access the code and watch a simulation, and there’s no need for a flash drive.

NcStudio is user-friendly for the novice. It’s easy to store and find files in it. You can do 3D modeling in that system and scan the surface of materials before starting the work so the Studio can correct the route.

Designed for precision and efficiency, these end mills allow you to create precise and clean edges with ease. Choose from a range of sizes and specifications.

Due to the fact. that a water cooling system can negatively affect the spindle because of the corrosion risk, an air cooling system is more preferable. Though you would need to find a way to get rid of the shavings. But it’s better than being worried about water breaking down the whole equipment.

And now let’s see who is the real Speed racer: a stepper motor moves at 20–25m/min, while a servo motor can travel at 60 m/min and more.

Impeller above the electromotor, which rotates with the spindle, or the unstoppable fan on top. This is what air cooling is. The main pluses of this type are density and simplicity of construction. Also, air-based chillers are more enduring. But the system’s major minus is that they are quite noisy and spread the material shavings all over the place.

A CNC router, or milling machine, as it is also sometimes called, is computer numerically controlled equipment that operates different materials, including wood, by carving them with an end mill. That’s where the name comes from.

As previously stated, the spindle power influences the power of the milling processes. And the types of materials it can process.

The spindle is basically an electromotor with special locks for the end mill, which rotates it. Well, that’s if I speak shortly.

A leading provider of specialized cutting tools for precision machining applications, today announced the acquisition of ATA.

The phrase speeds and feeds or feeds and speeds refers to two separate parameters in machine tool practice, cutting speed and feed rate.

Obviously, that system requires a separate computer with a 32-bit operating system, and the computer itself will take some space in the manufacturing building.

But for more complicated operations with thicker materials where higher precision is required, the square ones are used. For example, HIWIN, PMI, and AMT.

Similar to 304 stainless steel, Grade 316 stainless steel has high amounts of chromium and nickel. A major difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel is the the amount of molybdenum (Mo) in the chemical composition, with 316 stainless steel containing 2 to 3 percent by weight of molybdenum vs only trace amounts found in 304 stainless steel. The higher molybdenum content results in grade 316 possessing increased corrosion resistance, and therefore the grade 316 stainless steel is more suitable for food and biomaterials processing. Grade 316 stainless steel is also called food grade stainless steel.

On our machines, we have NcStudio installed. That’s a program complex that consists of two plates (boards), one of which is in the shell of the CNC router machine, and the other is connected to the motherboard of a computer.

We have two types of frames for our machines to offer: M-type and A-type. Both are made of welded steel, but the first one is reinforced and thicker — 10 mm — than the other one. M-type is used on machines with a powerful spindel of 3 kW and more.

Also, it has a simulation of the process, which can help you find possible mistakes. And it offers an analog output for stepless spindle speed control.

Servo motors, on the other hand, don’t lose the precision of their operations when speeding up. Their system has all the bases covered: there is feedback with a router’s control system. That’s why no step failures or coordination problems are possible.

This is our hand, leg, wing, or any other limb, to be honest. That’s what creates the magic. This includes end mills. The spindle power determines the power of the milling processes. The number of possible spins is also connected to that parameter. If the spindle is not Samson, production will flop, and the machine itself is at risk of distortion.

The end mill is fixed inside with the help of a chuck with a collet clip. That chuck holds a mill from all of the flanks, which help to deal with any kinds of side loads, and spreads them equally to ensure a better lock.

As previously stated, the spindle power influences the power of the milling processes. And the type of materials it can process.

That, as we can say, is a spine, the skeleton of the machine. If we want our CNC router machine to work steadily and efficiently, then we have to make sure that the bed is steady as well. And heavy! It’s important to have, if I may, a big-boned structure so it can keep up with the speed and power of spindle movement.

What is a CNC router, what is the difference between a 3 and 5 axis milling machine, and what materials can it process? That’s just a little part of those questions, which might appear when diving into the CNC world for the first time.

Here comes the freedom (Eren Jaeger approves). This system gives you the opportunity to rotate the working piece any way you want. As you can guess, products and details of any level of intricacy are available for you. The 5-axis CNC milling machine is universal equipment for any task since it’s capable of almost anything.

This part is responsible for the movement of the spindle across the working table. It carries the main hunky-plodder, and it better be reliable. Stoical portal is one of the things that is responsible for the absence of vibrations during the work as well. The speed of operations also depends on its capability to keep up and hold on.

Inside, it has an electromotor, spindle placement’s feedback sensor, diagnostics transmitter, supports, and bearings. The last two are responsible for chatter stability and high speed of spinning, respectively.

Everything continues to operate as it did previously. Just now, the working piece itself can rotate! Like a pod on the pottery wheel. And now your products can be considerably more complicated. The new axis for the material is commonly known as the A-axis.

We don’t want our CNC milling machine to feel like a drying-out human in the manufacturing desert, so there is an automatic oil system installed on it. It helps to keep guides and bearings in working order all the time. Of course, it eases the operator’s day as well since he has no need to worry about the state of those parts. The oil system saves maintenance time! And it can be set by time, like an alarm.

CNC routers are not that complicated. After all, Wattsan is not going to leave you one-to-one with the equipment. You can always call us or find useful information on our blog or YouTube channel. For example, watch this video about how to get started!

A CNC router machine can differ from another by the number of axes it has. X, Y, and Z? Or also A, B, and C? “What are all of those letters?” you may ask. Let me explain.

This one is straightforward: water goes in circles (as Daft Punk would say, “around the world, around the world”) and does the job. Water cooling can be accomplished using either a chiller or a pump.

As a result, if you aren’t working with hard materials or at high speed, then regular stepper motors will be fine. Otherwise, use servo ones.

The first is inexpensive, and it’s good to use that kind in small productions for small or medium objects, like toys, boxes, or souvenirs. Stepper motors are quite noisy and might not keep up with the high speed of work. That’s the reason they aren’t installed on professional equipment.

Yes, it is necessary to keep the milling machine cold during operation since the electromotor warms up, as do the supports and bearings. The power of rubbing! This is why the cooling system is included with the router. There are two kinds of it.

A milling machine can 3D cut and engrave wood, plexiglass, aluminum, brass, composite, medium- and hard-density fiberboards, foam rubber, etc.
