Boxford A3 HSRmi2 CNC Router On Extractor Base Vacuum Bed 4th Axis & Software
with a comprehensive range of accessories to include vacuum bed system, Extractor base, Programmable automatic 4th Axis attachment, workpiece vice and 3 Jaw chuck with both internal and external jaws
Machine is in full working order and we can demonstrate its functions on site. The extractor base turns on when the spindle is activated.
Capable of machining wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals although the 4th axis is only for wood and plastics.
Runs from a 230v supply. Requires a 13a plug for the machine and a 16a plug for the extractor.
Supplied with the Boxford software so it’s a complete package ready to be put to work.
We can offer training on this machine and the software. Please get in touch if this is something you require.
Boxford A3HSRmi²
Bench top PC controlled CNC router
A bench top high performance router specifically designed for educational and training installations
The PC controlled Boxford A3HSRmi² High Speed Router is ideally suited to a classroom environment and offers the ideal solution for high-tech education and training requirements.
Operating on IBM/100% compatible computers, the inclusive user-friendly software has routines for Computer Aided Design (CAD) at both simple and sophisticated levels and will process the drawings through to a full machining routine.
CNC Features
The Boxford software is an integrated suite of powerful CAD/CAM tools.
The CAD provides a variety of drawing tools including text fonts with excellent manipulation routines.
Drawings from other CAD applications can also be imported and processed. A full 3D simulation of the manufacturing process, including a cycle time, can be shown enabling work to be proven without the need for trial runs on the machine. Manual Data Input, utilising Industrial Standard Codes, allows programs to be entered using either line by line or conversational programming.
The A3HSRmi² incorporates hardware capable of continuous 3 axis movement utilising the latest Continuous Path Manufacturing technology. This allows large programs, imported from major CAD/CAM packages, to be machined extremely efficiently and is an essential machine feature for successful manufacture of 3D reliefs.
Designed for 3D manufacture, the long Z axis travel allows the machining of tall components.
The powerful 1kW High Frequency spindle motor and rigid machine construction allows the use of high material removal rate strategies producing a component throughput lighter machines cannot match.
The machine rigidity also allows for the machining of aluminium alloys and brass.
Touch sensitive control panel incorporating illuminated push buttons allows the machine to be operated without a computer.
Active and accurate tool path graphics continuously displayed line by line during program write, test run and manufacture.
