C-Beam XLarge Machine Mechanical Bundle
From:The C-Beam Machine XLarge gives you abilities such as plate making, sign making etc. all on a larger scale!
C-Beam XLarge Machine is a CNC machine design based on the popular V-Slot® linear guide system. The machine is strong as the linear rail incorporates a C shape profile which gives added strength and functionality.
The C-Beam Machine XLarge Machine is a collaborative design Build by OpenBuilds Resident Builders Craig Mills & Mark Carew
- OPEN SOURCE – The C-Beam machine is open source and the builder community is encouraged to modify and build on this design.
- EASY TO BUILD – With the V-Slot Modular Framing System, C shape profile to give added strength and functionality and OpenBuilds ‘Build along videos’, assembly is quick and easy.
- AFFORDABLE – budget friendly parts allow builders the opportunity to freely create.
- CUSTOMISABLE – Take it to the next level and make it your own! Share your builds with the open source builders community OpenBuilds.com
C-Beam Machine Specs:
- X Axis Travel 750mm – (29.5″)
- Y Axis Travel 330mm – (13″)
- Z Axis Travel 110mm – (4.3″) Actual working depth is 2″
- Usable cut depth is dependent on how you mount your spindle/router, bit length used and spoil board height. But as a ball park measurement you are looking at 1 inch (25mm) material. The Z working height is over 2 inches for deep carving
- The physical footprint is 1000mm x 500mm (with the moving Y table protruding out about 170mm at full travel, front and back) with the High Torque Steppers sticking out about 140mm from the frame at the back. Maximum Height ( Z-axis fully up) is about 630mm
- All the precise Acme Lead Screws are faced away from flying chips to help keep them clean
- Outside mounted Xtreme Solid V Wheels™ used throughout for easy on machine adjustment, tuning and strength.
- Doubled up and adjustable Acme Nut blocks on Y and X axes with a Anti-Backlash Nut Block on the Z axis to reduce/remove backlash.
- Strong and accurate C-Beam™ and V-Slot™ Linear Rail with the new heavy duty C-Beam™ Gantry Plate XLarge used for all Actuators.
Please note: You will need to source the following additional to the build:
Spoilboard – We recommend sourcing locally (Bunnings/Mitre 10 offers cut to size MDF panels)
Electronics – GRBL 4-axis Controller Stack and power supply (available as an upgrade option)
Software to machine tool chain – Many options available! Starting from completely opensource through to excruciatingly expensive! Talk to us if you want recommendations
Router
Safety Enclosure – We always recommend all customers carefully assess any hazards regarding automated machinery and provide required protection (e-stops, enclosure, safety circuits etc). Worksafe New Zealand’s CNC machines fact sheet is a great place for information!
