Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for CNC Router

Definition

CNC routers are widely used in woodworking, sign making, aerospace, and automotive industries for cutting, shaping, and engraving. They are specified by their working area, spindle power, and number of axes. Grades vary from hobbyist machines with lower precision to industrial models with high rigidity and accuracy. Key distinctions include frame construction (steel vs. aluminum), spindle type (air-cooled vs. water-cooled), and control system (e.g., Mach3, Siemens).

Working Principle

A CNC router operates by moving a rotating cutting tool along multiple axes (typically X, Y, Z) according to a pre-programmed computer code (G-code). The spindle rotates at high speeds to remove material, while stepper or servo motors precisely position the tool. The machine's rigidity and control system determine the accuracy and surface finish of the cut.

Common Materials

Steel (e.g., Q235, 45#), Aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061, 7075), Cast iron (for high-rigidity frames), Linear guides (e.g., HIWIN, THK), Ball screws (e.g., C5, C7 grade)
