Our 5-Axis CNC is built on rigid ShopBot modules with extended height that allows adequate 5-axis reach. The X axis is a moving table based on ShopBot’s innovative PowerStick system. The Y axis makes use of ShopBot’s precision extruded beam. This 5-axis tool is rigid enough for the machining of prototyping materials, including urethane foams and soft woods, however it is not recommended for production machining of hardwood or aluminum. It is also excellent for trimming, drilling, and slotting operations in a variety of materials.
All 5 axes are powered by advanced technology, closed-loop, alphaStep motors providing production speed and precision. The tool includes a 2.2hp HSD spindle fit to ShopBot’s 5-axis head. The 5-axis head, utilizes 2 alphaStep DG motors. These are “hollow rotary actuators” providing a wide rigid base and stable motion for the two additional axes of rotation.
The tool is perfect for 5-axis machining of soft materials such as urethane foams, as well as trimming, drilling, and slotting operations in a variety of materials such as vacuum formed ABS. It is capable of light machining in soft woods, but does not have sufficient rigidity for machining of hard-wood or aluminum.
| Fast, closed-loop alphaStep motors fitted with low-backlash, tapered-hob gear heads on all axes (two on the X axis) -- alphaStep system monitors motor shaft positions to maintain synchronicity between signal and motion. |
| Tough precision bearings and hardened steel rails on each axis. |
| Reliable rack-and-pinion power transmission on each axis. |
| Impressive cutting speeds of up to 600 inches per minute (depending on cutting bit and material) and rapid transit speeds of 1,800 inches per minute. |
| Sealed industrial control box. |
| Emergency stop disconnect switch in the control box with integrated and cabled remote emergency stop buttons. |
| Z-zero Touch-Off Plate and XYZAB Proximity Switches for automatic zeroing. |
| ShopBot Control System software to run your CNC. |
| Support Resources and Documentation. |
| Two-year warranty. |
| Ships fully assembled (including spindle & VFD). It arrives ready to roll out of its crate on its own casters and start work (220VAC single phase or 3-phase power). |
