We offer an extended gantry width option for dual Z-Axis machine configurations.

An extended gantry provides the ability to add a second Z-Axis (now or in the future) and maintain access to the full machine work-area for both tools.

We provide separate options for Z-Axis Travel and Gantry Height.

Please note that increasing the gantry height will negatively impact machine stiffness and is not recommended for most applications. For common cutting applications, like sheet goods and harder materials, the standard 8" Ballscrew Z-axis and 8" Gantry Height option is the best choice. Select the 8" / 8" option for this configuration.

If you require additional gantry clearance for longer tooling, our 12" Ballscrew Z-axis and standard 8" Gantry Height is the best choice to provide an additional 4" of Z-Axis retraction above the gantry. Similarly, if you require increased Z-Axis Travel, this can also be accomplished with our 12" Ballscrew Z-axis and standard 8" Gantry Height by recessing your workpiece in the table, or off the front of your machine. Select the 12" / 8" option for this configuration.

Increasing the gantry height is only recommended for specialty applications with low cutting forces, like cutting foam or similar materials, or other non-cutting applications. Select the 12" / 12" option for this configuration.

All of our machines are powered by advanced all-digital motor drivers that are perfectly matched with our low-inductance motors and can be configured at either of two levels.

• Plug and Play NEMA 23 CNC Control System
  An affordable and very capable control system for those who are less concerned with cutting speed, but want an extremely reliable and easy to use machine.


• Plug and Play NEMA 34 CNC Control System (recommended for this machine)
  For production shops, commercial users, or those with large machines, our NEMA 34 control system offers increased power, greater speed, and higher depth of cut.
  
  

Our Plug and Play CNC Control Systems are fully assembled in industrial metal NEMA enclosures, pre-wired, and ready to go!

• 4 HP Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System
  A production-level cutting solution that offers a significant capability upgrade over a standard router by providing a consistent 4 HP of cutting power across a wide RPM range, allowing for faster and deeper cuts.



• 8.7 HP Plug and Play Spindle / VFD System
  Our most powerful cutting solution, maximizing production output through increased material removal rates (MRR).

The Avid CNC Rotary Axis adds rotary cutting and indexing capabilities to PRO CNC Benchtop CNC machines.

The Rotary Axis Kit is designed to be highly versatile and accommodate many different workpiece sizes, while maintaining traditional routing work areas. It can be mounted to an existing machine parallel with the X or Y axis, or can be recessed into the machine frame to maximize workpiece diameter.

Recessed Mount

Recessed mounting can only be achieved parallel to the X axis of the machine:

Table-top mount

Mounting parallel to the Y axis (perpendicular to the machine gantry) maximizes workpiece length, while mounting parallel to the X axis preserves greater traditional routing work area:
