5000 Series CNC Router

April 01, 2014

MultiCam offers a solution for heavy duty machining with its 5000 Series CNC Router.

The 5000 Series CNC router is designed for high-speed nested-based cabinet production and other CNC routing applications requiring a heavy-duty machine. Standard features, such as the precision ground helical rack, digital AC servo drives (2200-ipm rapid traverse), a heavy box frame design and 25 millimeter linear bearings, provide virtually vibration-free cutting. In addition, the 5000 Series CNC routers include standard vacuum tables and vacuum pumps tailored to the specific application.

MultiCam's 5000 Series Router is available in widths up to 10 feet and lengths up to 60 feet with various spindle configurations and functional options, such as the gang drills and aggregate heads that are commonly utilized in woodworking, plastics and nonferrous metal machining applications. Another useful option for the 5000 Series CNC Router is the rigid tapping spindle with automatic toolchanger.

  • automatic toolchanger

    automatic toolchanger

    Mechanism typically included in a machining center that, on the appropriate command, removes one cutting tool from the spindle nose and replaces it with another. The changer restores the used tool to the magazine and selects and withdraws the next desired tool from the storage magazine. The changer is controlled by a set of prerecorded/predetermined instructions associated with the part(s) to be produced.

  • computer numerical control ( CNC)

    computer numerical control ( CNC)

    Microprocessor-based controller dedicated to a machine tool that permits the creation or modification of parts. Programmed numerical control activates the machine’s servos and spindle drives and controls the various machining operations. See DNC, direct numerical control; NC, numerical control.

  • tapping

    tapping

    Machining operation in which a tap, with teeth on its periphery, cuts internal threads in a predrilled hole having a smaller diameter than the tap diameter. Threads are formed by a combined rotary and axial-relative motion between tap and workpiece. See tap.

  • toolchanger

    toolchanger

    Carriage or drum attached to a machining center that holds tools until needed; when a tool is needed, the toolchanger inserts the tool into the machine spindle. See automatic toolchanger.
