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 Advantages

	Ball screws of high alloy steel ensure stability, highest precision and a reliable power transmission from the High-Torque drives.
	Two y axes with double linear guides each enable a low-vibration operation and thus guarantee clear-cut results when milling or engraving.
	A stable construction of the holding angles of the bridge ensures a powerful machining, even on large systems with a very broad bridge.

The characteristics of the Classic model range apply also to the Premium line starting with CAM 0505: high precision due to ball screw spindles free from backlash and a high machining speed in three dimensions due to the intelligent controller CNC 980+. However, the Premium line offers considerably more on top of that.

For tough industrial usage

A feature which has to be pointed out especially is the greater stability of the system. The very stiff construction of the substructure using panel profiles offers great constructive advantages. The profiles that have been bolted against each other horizontally ensure an extremely stable machine table which is covered with a 20 mm thick T-slot plate of massive aluminium. The internal honeycomb structure of the high-tensile aluminium profiles of which the whole system is constructed is so resumed in principle in a large scale. This results in a maximum stability at minimum weight and thus in highest driving dynamics.

Large format system CAM 1525 Premium with front clamping range (positioning range 1,550 x 2,510 x 190 mm).

Thanks to more powerful drives with double linear guides and two y axes, it is also possible to work at higher rates of feed on materials which are difficult to machine. A very smooth operation while machining the workpieces and therefore a first-class quality of the cut edges is a self-evident feature of the Premium line.

Maximum variety regarding size and equipment

The stable design also enables a construction of broader machines at a smaller depth. Just compare for instance a CAM 2010 with a CAM 1020. Although both system have a positioning range of slightly more than two square metres, the machine front of CAM 1020 is only one metre wide whereas the front of a CAM 2010 is two metres wide. So the mounting area will be better accessible. This means for you a more convenient operation, a quicker change of workpieces and tools and the possibility to work on broader plate formats (thanks to the push-through option).

The Premium line is also more flexible regarding the size of the machine. Starting with a positioning range of 550 x 510 mm, there are numerous machine sizes in 500 mm steps available. The standard z axis lift can be either 190, 290 or 490 mm. In principle it is also possible to manufacture special designs or to integrate the CAM systems into complex industrial production environments. The inputs and outputs of the controller allow the use of automatized accessories and measuring units.

The systems can additionally be equipped with a housing for safety, cleanliness and noise protection reasons. The housings are available in different variants, either partly or completely enclosed, and with different door solutions. For more information see

housings.

Front clamping range for very high workpieces

Because of its construction with two y axes left and right of the mounting area we can provide your system with recesses in the machine table. An already standardized variant of this is the so-called front clamping range where you can fix your workpieces vertically (see images on the opposite page and on page 20). The workpieces may reach nearly down to the ground while they are worked on at their top. This front clamping range has a standard depth of 250 or 500 mm and the width of the x positioning range (see table). For holding fixing devices, it is equipped with a T-slot plate.

The front clamping range is very commonly used for the housing production, where longer housings or similar workpieces have to be machined also at their fronts. The rest of the mounting area of the machine can be used as usual for fixing and machining your workpieces. Especially for larger machines, an (additional) rear recess facilitates the loading and adjustment of workpieces in the rear area. So it becomes possible to operate the machine from two sides with alternatingly loading the workpieces.
