Proxxon MF 70 CNC Package

Tabletop Milling Machine with Three Axis CNC Retro-fit

"Perfectly sized for the corner of your desk"

A must have for Engineers, Opticians, Dentists, Jewelers, Electronics Enthusiasts, Model Builders, and Hobbyists alike. Great for size appropriate rapid prototyping, jewelry machining, mechanical pc board etching, detailed engraving, and many other milling based activities.

 

From Proxxon's website:

MICRO mill MF 70
The unit is supplied with a stable base of cast iron. Both vertical column and compound table are of treated, high quality aluminum. All axes are play-free and have adjustable slides. The headstock, made of die-cast aluminum, houses the 24 pole balanced special motor and provides stability even at high operating speeds. This stability facilitates the use of the finest cutters. Six triple slit, hardened MICROMOT steel collets come with the machine and cover shank sizes of 1/32", 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64" and 1/8" (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.35, 3.0, 3.2 mm). The table is fitted with three T-slots of the 15/32" x 15/64" x 15/64" (12 x 6 x 6 mm) MICROMOT-norm. An adjustable ruler scale eases the positioning of the work piece. All hand wheels are zero adjustable with 1 revolution = 3/64" (1.0 mm), 1 division = .002" (0.05 mm).

Our CNC Conversion adds:

 

Includes Mach 3 DEMO version CNC control software CD and .xml set-up file to get you started quickly. Also on the CD is an electronic copy of the Mach 3 manual and a g-code file to engrave a proper scale US flag @ 2" X 1". (Mach 3 DEMO limited to 1000 lines of g-code)

 

Three axis step motor driver unit with 4th axis capability included. Our step driver box is built around a 4-axis  driver board allowing an upgrade to 4 axes with ease. See below for 4 axis upgrade information.

 

External DC power supply design allows for 4th axis upgrade and removes all AC componentry from inside of the driver enclosure.

 

Three 83 oz/in bi-polar parallel step motors allow rapid traverses at 20 Inches per minute (500mm/min) while still providing more than enough power for milling and cutting functions at appropriate speeds. Motors are equiped with 6' long cables and terminated with a unified locking quick connect device.

 

Step motors are attached to the machine with CNC machined aluminum mounts. Factory lead screws are retro-fit with duplex roller-ball thrust bearings to eliminate bearing wear due to repeatative CNC motion. Shaft couplings are pinned to the lead screw for precise power transmission.  

 

8th level micro-stepping achieves mechanical resolution of .000025" (.000635mm)

 

Utilizing a proper "turn to release" style Emergency Stop switch, the operator is protected by an industrial Master Control Power Relay style circuit.

 

The unit accepts a standard DB-25 parallel port cable. (included)

 

Manual Activation is not possible with a CNC converted machine, although jogging functions are part of Mach3 and can be used in place of manual machining.

 

             

 

Upgrade Options:

  1. 4 axis electronics: Option includes power supply upgrade and internal wiring / panel connector for motor attachment. This improvement DOES NOT include the mechanical fourth axis or step motor, it completes the capability of the driver box only. Add $65.00 USD
  2. 4th Axis:  Now Available click HERE for more details.  Add $335.00 USD
  3. Emergency Stop Relocation: Our std offering has the E-stop and reset switches located on the driver box requiring it to be within the operators reach at all times. This option relocates the E-stop and reset buttons to the spindle head of the machine thus enabling the driver box to be located out of sight. Add $25.00 USD
  4. Relay control box: Provides two program controlled solid state relays that are circuit breaker protected. Combined current draw must not exceed 15 Amps. Useful for spindle on/off control and dust collection vacuum or spray mist solenoid/flood coolant pump. (Inquire for a 220VAC relay box as it will require special pricing.) 110VAC relay box Add$125.00 USD
  5. Upgrade to precision grooved race ball thrust bearings. Add $65.00 USD
  6. Upgrade to helical beam couplings. Add $60.00 USD
  7. Upgrade to NEMA 23 step motors. Quoted upon request.
  8. Upgrade to Ball Screw activation. Quoted upon request.
  9. Servo Motors: Globe motors offer 20 oz/in cont. and 170 oz/in peak torque. Max RPM = 2800. 500 count HEDS encoder. SV-500 servo amps with 30V 5Amp capability. Upgraded power supply. Add $475.00 USD
