ShopBot's
PRSstandard CNCs are tools that rival the performance of any CNC
machine less than $20,000
(except our PRSalpha, of course). The PRSstandard is a special opportunity for those who are ready to get started
with CNC productivity - at a very low cost - with the tool that has set
the standard in affordable CNC. The mechanical components of these PRS
tools are the same as those shipped with our current PRSalpha CNC
tools. These tools are standard in the sense that they have set
the performance standard for entry-level CNC routers as ShopBots have
done for many years. With a PRSstandard, if you later decide you would like the performance of a PRSalpha,
you will be able to easily
upgrade by adding PRSalpha Control System,
drives and motors.

PRSstandard Control System
 |
ShopBot PRSstandard tools use open-loop
stepper motors with low-backlash gearheads. These are the
motors that were used in our products until the introduction of
our PRSalpha systems. The ShopBot Control System is the same
system that in five years became the leading affordable CNC for
shops around the world. [PRSstandard Control Board is shown at
left. Board is installed in a PC mini-tower-style case. Gearhead
stepper motor also pictured.] The PRSstandard
control system now utilizes Geckodrive stepper drivers and provides higher speeds, higher
step resolution and smoother cutting than our previous PRTstandard ShopBots.

with new drivers is available
as Upgrade for existing PRTstandard CNCs] |

PRSstandard Buddy
32 |
The new ShopBot Buddy is the
perfect tool for weekend projects and serious
do-it-yourself jobs. With a PRSstandard Buddy, anyone can
now incorporate CNC into a variety of home improvement and craft
projects. Its small footprint makes it ideal for the garage
or basement workshop, and a Buddy will replace many of the tools
you currently use!

Please note: While these PRSstandard CNC
tools
offer good performance, better than other entry level CNCs, they do NOT have the performance of our
PRSalpha tools.
PRSalpha
ShopBots are several times faster than the PRSstandard version and other entry level CNC tools. The advanced closed-loop PRSalpha motors
add considerable reliability to heavy
production operations. For serious
production work or performance-oriented
machining, the ShopBot PRSalpha offers the
greatest value in affordable production CNC. |

ShopBot PRSstandard Introductory CNC Packages with Accessories
We've
put together some suggested basic systems of CNC Tool and
Table, as well as accessories useful in getting you
quickly into production with CNC.
[See
suggested systems]
Before Placing Your Order
Electrical -- The PRSstandard Control Box
runs from a 110VAC (50-60Hz)*, 15Amp circuit. You will usually be able to power your computer
from the same circuit. Your router/spindle, and
other accessories, will require a separate
circuit. You will need to know about
the electrical service to your shop to plan for
these accessories. [*If 220VAC is
required it can be specified at time of order.
Control Box voltage is not configurable by the
purchaser.]
Router or Spindle --
ShopBots are configured for either
router or spindle. So you will need to specify
your choice at the time you order your ShopBot. Give us a call for help with this decision [and
see
Router/Spindle].
Computer Requirements -- You need a PC with
an available USB port that is running Windows XP
Pro or Vista Business or
higher (64 bit systems are not
supported) . At minimum: Pentium
800 MHz, 512M RAM, Graphics display 1024x768 for
the shop (this resolution optimally uses
screen). For your design computer (if you
use a separate computer), a resolution of 1280 x
1024 or higher will work well. If your
shop computer will not be networked, an
additional USB port for transferring files using
USB memory stick is very useful.
Shipping -- ShopBots are shipped as four
modules (Table, X-rails, X & Y carriages,
Z-axis) ready for straightforward assembly.
Shipments are crated and banded onto a single
pallet and ShopBot will arrange shipment by
truck to your shop or facility. You will need to
discuss several aspects of shipping with us.
International -- We sell and ship
ShopBots internationally and manufacture them
configured to local requirements. The
PRTstandard Control Box will usually adapt to
local electrical service voltages, but you will
need to plan circuits for your router/spindle
and accessories. Check with us if you have
questions. Please see our
International Support
page where a number of issues related to
international use, sales, shipping,
installation and support are reviewed.
