The most versatile CNC router

    The high-speed three-axis motion controller is the most versatile CNC router for plastics, woodworking, stone, composite materials and non-ferrous metals. It is a solid steel frame structure, which is a budget-friendly structure. Here are several other CNC routers and their respective sizes.

    ATC CNC Router

    These routers have an automatic tool change function and have been maturely used in the manufacturing of wooden doors, cabinet doors, computer desks, furniture, mahjong tables and other manufacturing industries. The system uses dual Y-axis micro stepping.

    Multi-head CNC router

    This series of CNC routers supports comprehensive control of multi-head spindles from 2 to 8 PCs. It can transmit commands to the spindles for simultaneous operation. Users can set various tool paths for multiple spindles (tools). The second spindle can automatically start working after the first spindle completes its work.

    What does a CNC router do?

    When the CNC system is started and programmed into the machine through the correct code, these functions will work according to the instructions of the software. This function is for the corresponding hardware and tools. They work very much like a robot, and the work they do is definite.

    Fundamentally speaking, CNC machining allows people to imagine pre-programming the speed and position of machine capacity and running them in predictable, monotonous cycles, and these programs hardly include human administrators.

    The machine can also perform concealed cutting of different levels and edges on the workpiece within a few minutes, with high efficiency and high precision. Because of these characteristics, users from different manufacturing industries have voluntarily accepted it.

    What materials will the CNC router cut?

    CNC routers can be used as a substitute for handheld routers to cut different materials. It has a wide range of uses, regardless of the material you are working with. No matter which material you choose, CNC routers will have similar advantages; the most basic advantage is the unparalleled automation and productivity.

    This machine can cut a variety of different materials, including plywood, hardwood, steel, aluminum, composite materials, metal, acrylic, plastic, foam, and fiberglass

    Which machines can CNC routers replace?

    The CNC router can realize the specific work of various workshop machines, so it can replace various machines, such as boring machines, spindle model machines, planers and panel saws. The application of CNC routers also eliminates the use of multiple devices, because we have discovered more ways to perform tasks with CNC. Few of these equipment include drills, drill presses, traditional and vertical routers, planers, band saws, reel saws and beam saws.

    What is the difference between a CNC router and a handheld router?

    Here are some tips to distinguish CNC routers from handheld routers.

    1. Fast working engine frame: CNC router uses three engines to drive the frame to move along three axes (X-Y-Z). The handheld router is accompanied by a single cutting head, which is completely different from the CNC router, which can have up to five cutting heads. In this way, using CNC routers, you can deliver large quantities of complex wood products.

    2. Accurate performance: The handheld router may not be able to deliver the accuracy delivered by its CNC counterpart. In a handheld router, an engine from 6 to 12 amps sits on a stage and slides over the material you are cutting; it stretches a little bit. These routers are easy to bump and run away.

    3. Safe and reliable: In order to minimize the risk of human error, CNC machining is an ideal method for cutting hard surfaces. It is a wise idea to perform air cutting before performing the actual cutting. Due to the computerized nature of CNC machine tools, they generally tend to engage in woodworking activities that require large-scale manufacturing of precision products. They are suitable for creating very clear jobs in a short time.

    4. Cost-effectiveness: First-class CNC routers are perfect for industrial-level applications and at a higher cost. However, handheld routers lead to exhaustion of the router before the ideal time.

    Therefore, in the long run, the maintenance cost of handheld routers will be higher than the cost of purchasing high-end CNC routers. Despite the convenience and precision, it ensures that the CNC router machine requires unique training work and is performed before the handheld router.  Therefore, CNC routers are an ideal choice in terms of cost and efficiency.
