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).

Typical parameters for CNC routers include a working area (X×Y×Z) ranging from 600×900×120 mm to 2000×4000×300 mm, spindle power from 1.5 to 12 kW, spindle speed up to 24,000 rpm, positioning accuracy of ±0.01 to ±0.05 mm (per ISO 10791-7), repeatability of ±0.005 to ±0.02 mm (per ISO 10791-7), maximum rapid traverse speed of 15 to 60 m/min, and 3 to 5 axes. Table load capacity ranges from 500 to 3000 kg, tool shank diameter from 1/8 to 1/2 inch, and machine weight from 800 to 8000 kg. Cooling methods include air-cooled or water-cooled spindles. Control systems may include Mach3, Syntec, Siemens, or Fanuc. Power supply options are 220V/380V, 50/60Hz (per IEC 60204-1). Noise level is ≤75 dB(A) at 1m distance (per ISO 3746).

Materials used in construction include steel (e.g., Q235, 45#), aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061, 7075), cast iron for high-rigidity frames, linear guides (e.g., HIWIN, THK), and ball screws (e.g., C5, C7 grade). Relevant standards include ISO 10791-7, GB/T 18400.2, and IEC 60204-1. Always verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.
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)

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can a CNC router process?

CNC routers are designed for materials like wood, plastics, and soft metals. The specific material capability depends on spindle power, rigidity, and tooling. Always check the machine's specifications for the intended material.

What is the typical working area of a CNC router?

Working areas range from 600×900×120 mm to 2000×4000×300 mm, depending on the model. Larger working areas allow processing of bigger workpieces but may affect rigidity and cost.

How does the number of axes affect CNC router capabilities?

3-axis routers are common for flat cutting and engraving. 4-axis and 5-axis routers can handle complex parts with undercuts or angled features, but they are more expensive and require advanced programming.

What standards apply to CNC routers?

Relevant standards include ISO 10791-7 for test conditions, GB/T 18400.2 for machining centres, and IEC 60204-1 for electrical equipment. These standards provide testing and safety guidelines, but compliance must be verified with the manufacturer.
