On request, there are individual extras available which are not listed on the following sites. Please ask us for further details about:

	Multi-spindle solutions for a quick serial production of identical workpieces
	Single T-slot plates which are being held by the vacuum table are a useful supplement when you have to fix e.g. (clamp) attachments for the production of special parts

Controller CNC 980+

The scope of delivery of your basic system includes the controller CNC 980+ which can drive up to five axes simultaneously. Its powerful output stages always ensure a smooth machining process.

A detailed description of all features can be found here.

Further Options

	The Active Pro systems are also available with a greater passage height than listed in the table (here a machine with a special passage height of 440 mm).
	Realize completely different processing techniques on one system: an optional quick change equipment allows to quickly exchange spindle and cutting unit.
	More rational serial production of identical workpieces due to multi-spindle solutions – depending on your application, the number and type of the spindles can be varied.

So that everything fits

Brief description
CAM 2030 Active Pro

The Active Pro series is the measure of all things for applications which demand a large working area. We build the machines with a maximum width of 3 metres, its depth is nearly unlimited. The CAM 2030 Active Pro displayed below with its positioning range of 2 x 3 metres has proven to be a real fast seller, especially for sign making applications.

XXL plate processing

The low-weight aluminium construction enables very high acceleration rates; thanks to powerful hybrid motor drive units, it is possible to mill materials of nearly all hardness grades. A substructure made of panel profiles that are bolted against each other horizontally ensures high stability.

Large format system CAM 2030 Active Pro (positioning range: 2,020 x 3,020 x 70 mm) with integrated special vacuum table.

Its rack-and-pinion drive achieves a remarkable repetition accuracy of ± 0.05 mm. Thus such a vhf CAM system does not only produce excellent milling results for its size, it can even be used well for engraving works. The z axis is driven by ball screw spindles and complies with highest demands concerning precision.

Serial special vacuum table

A real highlight of this machine series is the special vacuum table which is integrated into the machine table and included with the vacuum suction units in the system price. As it has been trimmed by surface milling, you will achieve an optimum plane parallelism. Your workpieces can be exchanged within just a few seconds and will then be fixed with high adhesive force. During the milling process, the vacuum table itself is protected by a fleece so that the tool cannot damage its surface.

Special vacuum tables can be found here.

Different kinds of workpiece fixation on one system: special vacuum table (left), front clamping range for high workpieces and a T-slot table behind.

On request you can replace the serial vacuum table fully or partly by a T-slot table. Your machine can also be equipped with a front clamping range – as known from the Premium line – for machining very high workpieces at their front sides. Depending on your requirements, these different kinds of workpiece fixation can also be combined, as shown in the image below.

The serial five axis controller CNC 980+ makes the Active Pro systems real all-rounders: milling spindles and tangential cutting devices can be used both. They can be exchanged easily – depending on the current application. So, for instance, it becomes possible to cut also digital prints, textile and synthetical fabrics or veneer into shape.

Special sizes nearly unlimited

Please contact us when you need a special design with specific dimensions. The construction of these CAM systems using panel profiles and rack-and-pinion drives for the x and y axis which can be extended to nearly any size grants as much freedom as possible. An example would be a system with a size of 3 x 14 metres which we have manufactured for the production of side plates of refrigerated trucks.

Special design of a CAM 2040 Active Pro with three different possibilities of workpiece fixation – on the positioning range of 2,020 x 4,020 mm (x/y) there is a front clamping range with a depth of 500 mm, behind comes a T-slot table with another 500 mm depth and finally on the last 3,000 mm there is a special vacuum table.

Drive concept: The power transmission works over a rack-and-pinion drive. It can be accomplished in nearly any length, so that there are only few limitations regarding the machine size.

Accurately secured: The machine and spindle controllers can be embedded safely and space-savingly into the underframe.

A multi-spindle solution can also be realized with two independent z axes (interesting for heavy spindles or a greater distance between the spindles).

For a low-maintenance operation: The sliding carriages of the linear guides will be kept clean by a chip protection roof and a chip wiper.
