HEAVY DUTY CNC MACHINERY

The fully Australian manufactured SR Series of
Multicam CNC Routers are manufactured for heavy
duty production. The steel gantry is manufactured from
250 x 150 x 5mm RHS. The steel column supports are
welded to the gantry beam making it and the column
supports, one rigid construction. The X axis bearings
are mounted to the gantry with the Linear rails secured
horizontally on our specially designed section. This
section is milled prior to the bearing rails being fitted.
The robust steel gantry is designed to carry heavier
spindles and for cutting through thicker material at
higher feedrates. The machine incorporates precision
machined rack and pinion drives on the X and Y axis
with a fully controllable 200mm ball screw on the Z axis
as standard. The machine frame is manufactured from
150 x 150 x 5mm Steel RHS while the Z axis spindle
mount is machined from 16mm plate.
Multicam CNC routing machines are used by
manufacturers in various industries including
Aluminium Boats, Aerospace Components, Bull Bars,
Truck Body Parts, Kitchens, Timber Doors, Plastic
Engineered components and Point-of-Sale displays to
mention a few.

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE

All Multicam CNC Routing Machines are available with
our fully enclosed Auto Tool Change Carousel. Travelling
on the gantry this “State of the Art” option provides
rapid tool change at any position along the X-axis.
When the workpiece requires multiple tools for complex
profiles, routing and boring, the tool change will perform
all tasks without operator intervention. Features include
tool allocation by colour groups, automatic tool length
compensation, triple spindle drill head and HSD Routing
Spindles with Ceramic Bearings. The simplicity, safety
and quality of the fully enclosed Multicam Automatic
Tool Change will soon be appreciated.
