CNC to Art Video Series Video 7: This is the CNC Video series on how to take an image to a CNC File. This process is one that many CNC Users want to know, but there is not much info on. Here is your chance to get the inside scoop. For more information, please go to: www.cncinformation.com We have converted our image and now it is time to clean it up and export it out. First we take a look at the image for defects. We find a few and use the Illustrator weld tool to get rid of them. Next we export the image out as a dxf file. DXF Files are common currency between CAD Programs. When we export, we go with the oldest type of DXF File available. I do it that way because I find it makes a simpler file that virtually any CAD Program can open and use. Next we go into our CAD Program to resize our file to the proper dimensions.

What kind of motors do large CNC metal milling machines use? I know they operate at very high RPM, but what kind of horsepower do they put out? Would a regular router motor (2-3hp) be able to mill steel?

Gantry Type high speed milling machines Modularity The new upper Gantry GTF line is characterized by great robustness. Thanks to its modular structure, and taking advantage from a combination of components conveniently selected according to weight, stiffness and cost requirements, the GTF range becomes an ideal solution to fulfill all customer’s demand. Performances The harmonious sizing of its structures in accordance with the thermo-symmetry concept, perfectly matches with the extremely dynamic linear axes. In this way, speed and power are enhanced to grant the best performance. The vertical axis integrates the versatile FIDIA continuous bi-rotary head capable of high speed removal rate for 3+2- and 5-interpolated axis machining. The FIDIA integrated technology system, including both drives, numerical control and optical scales, offers the most complete and performing equipment, granting the customer with both quality and reliability of one-single-source supplier. Applications GT machines offer a full range of models with modular work envelope. The main applications are for the machining of large plastic injection moulds, automotive stamping dies as well as structural components for the Aerospace Industry. Tailored equipping systems The GTF machine is so versatile that can be easily adapted to both the machining of different kind of materials, and the environmental and logistical conditions of workshop. Customized chip conveyors, dust removal and filtering systems, in …

I made this machine from a Harbor Freight milling machine, an old computer and some new stepper motors & electronics

A double traverse further enhances the modular concept of the GTF machine. Two independent heads can work either sharing the same piece or two different pieces using the bulkhead. Simultaneous 5+5-axis High Speed Machining The X axis stroke can be adapted to all requirements. Simulation Y2G Fidia CNC Milling Machines Windmill Blade Presentation.
