It can work with aluminum also. 

While working with aluminum, the spindle rate is 18000rpm; the feeding rate is 15,000mm/min. As we can see, to enable the machine to mill aluminum precisely, it should work with a coolant spray system. It is a dedicated option for aluminum machining. If you have aluminum jobs to work, you’d better go with this option.

Q: Which is better, Linear ATC VS Disk Type ATC? How to Choose Between the Both?

A: There are two types of tool magazines: linear type and carousel type (also known as disk type). Let's look at the difference between both their pros and cons.

• Linear ATC System

Pros: Less cost; The stability will be better because the linear tool bank is purely a mechanical mechanism and does not involve any electronics.

Cons: Linear ATC takes longer to change the tools than a Disk Type ATC CNC Router. 

• Disk ATC System  

Pros: with the excellent tool changing speed, we can only get the tools changed in 1 second at maximum.

Cons: Cost more. Reliability is slightly worse since it gets the electronic components involved as well. 

Above are the advantages and disadvantages of both ATC types. Users can choose the ATC type that suits them according to their own preferences.

• The tool length sensor is beneficial for ATC cnc machines. It performs automatical calibration of the length for multiple tools, which significantly improves work efficiency.

4x8 Linear ATC CNC router is widely used in MDF furniture sheets making (panel furniture) industries like MDF cabinet doors, belmont doors, classic cabinets, modern cabinets, wooden door panels, office furniture, bedroom furniture, TV walls, and musical instrument manufacturing (guitar and speaker). 

Materials

It is good for solid wood, MDF, PVC, plaster wall board (drywall), foam, aluminum, and more.

How to Make ATC Work?

In G-code, the T command is used to select the specified tool, and the following number indicates the selected tool number. The operator can define himself which tool number he will use. For example, if the project being processed requires 3 different tools to complete, the operator can name them T1, T2, and T3 respectively. In the finished tool path file, the path to be executed by tool No. 1 is placed below the T1 command; the path to be executed by tool No. 2 is placed below the command of T2; the same goes for T3. In this way, when we run the code, the machine can follow the code instructions to make the ATC work.

FAQs about EagleTec 4x8 Wood Furniture ATC CNC Router Machine EA-1325LATC

Q: Which Type of ATC Is More Reliable?

A: It is the linear ATC. Because this thing is a purely mechanical device. The disk ATC mechanism also includes electrical components, which are slightly more complex and, therefore, less reliable.

Q: Which Tool Carrier Is Better for Larger Tools? HSK 63F Or ISO30.

A: Assuming we are discussing the Italian spindle, the two are equal in terms of holding larger tools. If you go with a Chinese brand spindle, we prefer the ISO30 option based on our past experience. This is because the Chinese spindles that are equipped with this type of tool taper have been tested in the market for many years. As a result, these products are now well-established and demonstrate excellent stability.

While, the Chinese spindle with HSK63F taper has only been on the market for about two years. Therefore, the product is still in the improvement stage, not fully mature, which means its performance can be unstable.

Q: We Would Prefer The HSK63F Tool Mount Because The Holder Itself Can Have A Collet Chunk ER 40 And Is Thus More Stable For Tools Of Large Diameter And Length. For ISO30 The Maximum Collet Chunk Is ER 32?

A: No, the maximum collet size for ISO30 tapers is also ER40. With the ISO30-ER40 tapers, the machine can handle milling tasks with a large tool that is 32mm in diameter. 

Q: Do You Have a Single Phase 4x8 ATC Machine with Vac Table?

A: Yes, we do. We can build the machine to run off single-phase 220V power using a smaller power spindle, such as 4.5kw.

Q: We Are Limited On Space, And Your Control Cabinets Are Larger Than We Are Used To. DO You Have A More Space Saving Option?

A: We have a more space-saving option for the control cabinet: a long, thin cabinet that hangs on the side of the machine base and a cantilever display.

Q: The Cantilever Control Looks Good, Is There A Tradeoff In Either Cost Or Function For This Option?

A: The cantilever control is equivalent to the traditional floor-standing control cabinet in terms of function, but its manufacturing cost is somewhat higher. This design separates the traditional control cabinet into two parts: the electronic cabinet hanging on the base and the cantilever control above it. This is commonly used on fiber laser cutting machines. but it is seldom applied in CNC Router. If you have specific needs in this regard, we are very happy to provide a solution tailored to your request.

Q: We Operate Our Machines at An Altitude 1700 Meters Above Sea Level, Can You Confirm That The Vacuum Pump Is Able To Safely Operate At That Altitude?

A: Yes, we can. Different types of vacuum pumps have varying adaptability to high altitudes, based on their design and usage conditions. For example, molecular pumps and diffusion pumps are less effective at high altitudes, while rotary vane pumps and dry pumps are more adaptable. We equip your machine with the latter. At high altitudes, the negative pressure generated by this type of vacuum pump will decrease slightly; however, it is still completely adequate for a 4x8 cnc router with tool changer.

Q: What Program Does the ATC Wood CNC Router Use?

A:  The operation program for the CNC is NC Studio Phoenix (original version). The machine can work with a majority of CAM programs such as ArtCAM, Aspire, Fusion 360, Vcarve (Vectric), MasterCAM and etc.

Q: Is The Software That Drives the Machines Proprietary or Will Software Like Us Base Master Cam Drive It? Mastercam is the industry standard here in the US.

A: Of course! MasterCAM is a great option for driving the machine. Like most CNC machines, our machine runs standard G-code files and is compatible with many CAM programs that is able to create G-code. Some popular options include Vectric Aspire, Fusion 360, V-Carve, PowerMILL, UG, MasterCAM, and others.

Q: Will It Work with Vcarve Pro Software?

A: Yes, it works with Vcarve too. The CNC runs international standard G-codes.

Q: Is It Possible to Add A 4th Rotary Attachment?

A: Yes, it is possible. After adding a 4th rotary axis attachment, the machine will be able to handle the production tasks for both flat and square/round materials. The 4th axis will be a 4-axis simultaneous rotary, which is capable of complex rotary carving/milling processes.

Q: Do You Know the Cost of Shipping for This Drywall CNC Machine?

A: We will be pleased to check that for you if you could tell us a port of entry or your location. We will provide you with two to three transportation options for you to choose from. This allows you to choose the option that is most hassle-free and cost-effective.

Q: How to Use ATC CNC Router?

A: In general, the entire process is roughly divided into six steps.

Step 1. Create a tool path G-code file. This file should include T commands that can make ATC work, and the number of T commands should be consistent with the actual number of tools to be used in the machining process.

Step 2. Throw the completed G-code file to the CNC system through its USB port.

Step 3. Set XYZ=0 for the first tool; the workpiece origin we set should be consistent with the processing origin in the G code file.

Step 4. Please calibrate the lengths of the remaining tools and read the calibration values into the CNC system.

Step 5. Do the setup for machining parameters include the feed speed of each motion axis, fast travel rate, spindle RPM, etc.

Step 6. Start the auto work.
