4 HP Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System

Our 4 HP (3 kW) Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System is a production-level cutting solution that offers a significant capability upgrade over a standard router by providing a true 4 HP of cutting power, allowing for faster and deeper cuts.

OVERVIEW
WHAT'S INCLUDED
TECHNICAL

Plug and Play Operation: Effortlessly integrates with all current Avid CNC electronics systems and kits.
Powerful Performance: Unlike routers, which advertise only peak power ratings that are never actually achieved under real-use, our 4 HP (3 KW) Spindle offers sustained cutting power throughout the RPM range (6,000 - 24,000 RPM) regardless of workload. This allows for much faster operation and greater cutting pass depth.
Optimized for Production: Designed for continuous use in demanding production environments.
ER20 Collet System: ER20 collets accommodate up to 1/2" shank tooling.
Common Power Requirements: Requires only standard/residential single-phase 220VAC power (approx. 11A draw, standard 30A circuit recommended).

Comprehensive User Guides: Access to elegantly detailed user guides and step-by-step instructions for simple assembly and setup.
Engaged Maker Community: Join a vibrant online community of thousands of Avid CNC Users and Makers for support and inspiration.
Proudly designed, produced, and supported in the USA by Avid CNC: Have more questions, we have answers on our FAQ.

Product Options / Configuration

The compatibility options available include additional components for integrating this system with our previous CNC electronics systems, or with DIY CNC electronics.

EX & CRP800 Controllers: Our current EX and previous Plug and Play CRP800 CNC Control Systems are "Spindle Ready" and require no additional components to work with this Spindle / VFD system.
CRP500 / MX4660: This option includes a gland connector for integrating with either our previous NEMA 23 Plug and Play Systems (systems with CRP5042 digital drivers that were built prior to February 2015), or with the Leadshine MX4660 4-Axis Stepper Driver.
CRP300: This option includes an additional PMDX-107 Isolated Speed Control card and gland connector for integrating with our previous NEMA 34 Plug and Play Systems (systems with Gecko G201X or G203V drivers, and PMDX-126 breakout board).

Spindle Comparison

Evaluating the Material Removal Rate (MRR) is an indicator of the efficiency of a cut. This is a combination of depth-of-cut, width-of-cut, and feed rate.

Comparison tests were conducted in maple hardwood with a PRO Series CNC machine, NEMA 34 motors, and an Amana RC-2241 1.5" tool. Chipload was set to the tool manufacturer's recommended maximum of 0.008 inches per tooth.
